1
Peanut or Cashew Butter
 
Yield: 1 1/4 cups (300 mL)
 
3 cups (440g) unsalted roasted peanuts or cashews
 
Pour nuts in the Vita-Mix container. Secure 2-part lid. Select VARIABLE, speed #1. Insert tamper through lid opening. Turn on machine and quickly increase speed to #10; then to HIGH. Use the tamper to push the nuts into the blades. In 1 minute you will hear a high pitched chugging sound. Once the butter begins to flow freely through the blades the motor sound will change from a high pitch to a low laboring sound. Stop processing. Remove nut butter to a container and store covered.

Note: Refrigerate in airtight container.

Over processing will cause serious overheating to your machine! Do not process for more than 1 minute after mixture starts circulating freely.
 
Variation: Almond Butter
Substitute roasted almonds. Add oil if necessary, refrigerate and pour off excess oil next day.
 
If using dry roasted nuts, you may need to add oil. Begin with 3 tablespoons and add more if necessary.
