Re: nuances of making nut butter?

[Guest guest]

Salton makes a peanut butter machine. The description on the

product says that is also makes other nut butters. Has anyone tried

that? It may be worth the investment if the machine is able to

process peanuts as well as other nuts. The Lighter Side catalog

company

http://www.lighterside.com/ also offers a peanut butter machine.

It never became creamy.

How does she get it creamy and smooth, like the storebought?

Baden,

I've finally figured out if I food process my pecans just short of

my old food processor overheating, I can get chunky nut butter. I

then take the chunky nut butter and put it in my old heavy duty

blender, and blend it just short of that overheating, and I get

smooth liquidy pecan nut butter. It takes forever, but I can't even

find any place on line to buy plain old pecan butter. They all seem

to mix it with another butter.

It's a long process and takes up a good part of my day.
