[Guest guest]

anymore- my poor machine is burning when it's done - may add a bit again

Related to this topic - my son is just about to try nuts again. He

has a pack of dry ground pecans from Digestive Wellness, and wants to

turn this in to pecan butter. Should he just mix the ground pecans

with some melted butter and then refrigerate, or should he use an oil

and if so which one? Thanks to anyone who can help.

I like Spectrum's Walnut oil for nutbutters. And a little bit of

salt. Pecans grind out really fast. They are also good if you toast

them a little bit before processing.

Hi Kathy. What kind of food processor do you have? My new Cuisinart 14-cup

food processor has a very powerful motor. It can grind 1/2 pound raw pecans

into nut butter in about 3 minutes.

My much older and much less powerful food processor would have taken about

15 minutes.

I don't add any oil, so I get pecan butter that is more dense than

commercially prepared nut butter.

Sorry I couldn't reply to you yesterday.
