Re: Dean's nutty butter recipe - yum!!!

[Guest guest]

I have a possible suggestion. Could you add the milk you plan to use for

the milkshake or at least part of it and run the VM until the milk

warmed enough to melt loose the nut butter, and emulsify it together,

then add the rest of the milk and ice to cool it to desired milkshake

temp? Just tossing ideas around in my hear, though sure Lea Ann will

have a good suggestion.

I suggest a HOT after drink :-)Or, when I don't have time to make an "after" recipe, I let the kids get out as much as they can with their fingers, then use hot, soapy water on high, then I take a walk to the mail box or something and go slowly, when the hot soapy water heats up even more on high - ALL butter melts off! :-)

My first thought was heat to melt "butter", glad I was on the right

track! I guess my long years of VM'ing shows sometimes.  Might have

to use a little more ice, but I don't think you would have to go all

the way to steaming to melt off the butter. Should be able to see on

side of container when it was mixed in, is that right? I have not

made nut butter, though I bought the ingredients, I feel like I am

getting a slight virus (taking all my usual preventatives from

elderberry to C) so I ran out of steam yesterday after making

several other goodies for appetizer dinner for us and decided rest

was better for me than nut butter at the time. I plan to make the

nut butter in a few days.

Hope your first day of the year is going well.
