• 2 cups unsalted roasted cashews
  2-3 Tbsp veg. oil
  ¼ tsp salt
  1 tsp sugar (optional)

    *  In a food processor or blender, combine the nuts, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the salt, and the sugar, if desired. Process on high speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and process to desired smoothness, adding more oil, 1 teaspoon at a time, if a smoother butter is desired. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.

    * Transfer to a bowl to use as a dip, spread, or in other recipes, or place in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

    * You can mix it up a bit ….like….add some chocolate…….maybe some cinnamon…..just use your tastes. It is fun to try different things

OR

• 2 Tbsp honey
  ⅓ cup walnut oil
  10 oz (approx. 2 cups) roasted cashews
  ½ tsp salt

 Place the honey in a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds. Remove from the microwave and add the oil to the container.

 Place the nuts and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse for 5 seconds.

 Then, while the processor is running, very slowly drizzle in the honey and oil.

 Process until an emulsion is formed and the mixture is smooth; this will take approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute.
