Nut butters

[Guest guest]

I went to watch Lea Ann doing her demonstration this weekend and I asked her how

to make nut butter. She told me to roast 3 1/2 cup nuts in cocanut oil in the

oven for 10 to 15 minutes. I brought my nuts into the store and she showed me

how to use the Vitamix to make the butter. I poured out the nut butter. Then

she added 1 cup of my homemade almond milk to the vitamix with the remnants of

the butter, added 3 cups ice and blended. It was a wonderful treat and it

cleaned the nut butter out of the bottom of the vitamix. I'm thrilled to have a

new dessert I can serve my family and have an easy way to clean out the vitamix

too! Thanks Lea Ann.

You are SO WELCOME! It was so nice to meet you and I look forward to seeing you again in December!Isn't Almond/Pecan divine?If anyone is interested - I love to roast a 50/50 blend of Almonds and Pecans in a 350° oven for 15 minutes (I dump them in a gallon size plastic bag and coat with a touch of coconut oil first)I usually make more of this mix than 3.5 cups (the amount for the nut butter recipe) so I have left overs to snack on! :-)I also added a small hand full of dates to the almond milk and ice. This is a LOT like the cashew milk shake that I posted earlier and you can add some of the "Magic Veggies" if you'd like.Making something yummy that requires nut butter to clean out the container is really the way to go!Thanks again for bringing in your container - it allowed others to see how it's done! ;-)

What a GREAT idea to make a smoothie/shake right after so that you don't waste the butter stuck to the container!!!On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 12:09 AM, Deb Kelley <debkelley1@...> wrote:

You can also use other recipes to "clean" the container after making savory things. When I make homemade butter, I follow by making a cheese sauce to incorporate the butter into the sauce. Planning ahead makes it so you don't waste any of those yummy residues!

And then I'd make cheesy broccoli soup after that! ;-)After making salsa I always leave some in and add an avocado for some guacamole, then add some veggies to make a V-8 to clean out the container after that - YUM!

,Whenever I've made butter, since it is fresh, it goes bad before I can eat it all. Do you portion it out and freeze some? I want to make butter again (I buy raw cow's milk at my local farmer's market) but have been planning on freezing it in smaller portions…

Simple solution, Lea Ann. Eat more butter!! Just kidding. Remember though, that RAW butter is not "bad" for you like traditional "butter" is. Raw butter digests itself, so you don't store the fats. I make a small portion of butter every week, and it is usually enough to last me until the next batch. Raw butter is also AMAZING as a hair and skin conditioner. I use any left overs for that, slathering it on and letting it soak in for a few minutes before I shower. I haven't needed hair conditioner or skin lotion in years! Oh, and yes, you can freeze it, but it doesn't thaw to its original silky consistency, and gets a bit grainy, but is fine for use in sauces and such where it will be incorporated and won't really matter.

, please explain your homemade butter – you whip cream in the blender til it turns to butter?  I understand it’s a quick process.  Obviously I haven’t tried it.   I didn’t realize it digests itself.

I didn't realize that it digested itself either. I've just been diagnosed with gallbladder disease and have to have surgery to have the GB removed. Not supposed to have greasy oily foods and am wondering if this butter would be ok for me. Ummmmmm it's a thought!

Hi, Marsha. Yes, I make butter very quickly in the Vitamix, but it will only digest itself if RAW cream is used. You would have to have access to cows or a source for raw milk. Once pasteurized, milk loses the enzymes needed for self digestion. The process for making butter is exactly the same whether you use pasteurized or raw cream, but raw is so much better for you and your body doesn't store it as fat. I have my own cows, so I have access to plenty of cream needed, but you can make butter using store bought cream as well, it just doesn't have the same digestive properties.

I was thinking about making some pistachio nut butter for my brother.  What other nut would go with the pistachios?  Or would it be better plain?  Has anyone added pistachios to their nut butters?

Janet

[Guest guest]

I have eaten pistachio butter, but not made it. We have the

Fiddyment Pistachio owners in the area (they had to sell their ranch

as development moved in) and they bought land in other areas, but

still have an office north of us and sell their products.

Fiddyment was the first to find that the trees could be planted and

thrive here in the Sacramento valley. Their products were/are

wonderful.

I tried my hand at making pistachio butter.  First it takes a LONG time to shell pistachios.  Not something I will do again.  I bought roasted unsalted pistachios at Whole Foods.  After shelling I put them into the Vitamix.  They were very dry.  Lea Ann suggested I might try adding Almond Oil in it.  I tried that, but the butter got lumpy and slick and the oil stayed together - it did not mix with the pistachio butter.  So, I poured out the oil.  The resulting pistachio butter tastes good, but the texture is wierd, too thick and lumpy and hard to spread.

Then I made mixed nut butter with the last cup of pistachios with a cup of almonds and a cup of cashews.  This was much better, not as dry, but still dryer than the regular nut butter I make which is almonds, walnuts, pecans and sunflower seeds.

I probably won't try pistachio butter anymore.

You can buy the shelled kernels (pistachios) for around a dollar an

ounce at Fiddyment Farms who grow them here in CA.

Hello Ami,First off, I could not live without my Vitamix spatulas. There is nothing like them on the market (and I've tried just about every kind of spatula that is sold!). They are hard plastic all of the way to the edge, narrow, and they have the perfect curve to fit into the corners of the Vitamix container.https://secure.vitamix.com/Spatula-Set.aspx I you go through Kilbane at 800-848-2649 ext 2305 and use my code: 08-0009-000399 you will get Free ShippingThat being said - most of us use a "clean out the Vitamix recipe" after making nut butters. There are lots of posts about this - here is a portion of a post of mine that covers this:Ah, this it the FUN PART! The best way to clean the Vitamix after making Nut Butters is to make a Milk Shake or Ice Cream that requires nuts like, Peanut/Chocolate/Banana Smoothie! I made nut butter just the other day. I purposely left nut butter in the container, then I added Rice Milk, two Frozen Bananas, and a spoon full of Raw Cocoa Powder. Buzzed that up on High and Voila - my hubby got a delicious, chocolate/banana/peanut butter shake! If you ordered your Vitamix from me, I always see that a 3-pack of Vitamix spatulas are included with your order. These spatulas are very firm all of the way out to the edge, and they are also nice and narrow. I couldn't get along without these spatulas! Keep this concept of using what is left over in the container for something else and do it as often as possible. When I finish a Green Smoothie, I always buzz up a bit of water in there and drink it (ok I'm weird). When I make hummus, I leave it in there and try to follow up with a soup. When I make Salsa I always leave a lot in the container, then add and avocado to make guacamole (which I usually eat all for myself in one sitting ;-)You can also make a nut milk sorbet - Here is the Recipe Folder of our Links Page:/links/Recipe_Links_001298558025/Search for a post titled "Almond/Pecan Sorbet" I just added that link after searching for that post in the archives! :-)After Green Smoothies I buzz about a cup of water in the container and after it has cleaned most of the green smoothie off of the container I drink the "green water". :-)Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><On'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))><On Dec 24, 2011, at 1:25 PM, Ami Brainerd wrote:I’m wondering how you all get the peanut butter or other nut butters out of the VM.

Hello Ami,First off, I could not live without my Vitamix spatulas. There is nothing like them on the market (and I've tried just about every kind of spatula that is sold!). They are hard plastic all of the way to the edge, narrow, and they have the perfect curve to fit into the corners of the Vitamix container.https://secure.vitamix.com/Spatula-Set.aspx I you go through Kilbane at 800-848-2649 ext 2305 and use my code: 08-0009-000399 you will get Free ShippingThat being said - most of us use a "clean out the Vitamix recipe" after making nut butters. There are lots of posts about this - here is a portion of a post of mine that covers this:Ah, this it the FUN PART! The best way to clean the Vitamix after making Nut Butters is to make a Milk Shake or Ice Cream that requires nuts like, Peanut/Chocolate/Banana Smoothie! I made nut butter just the other day. I purposely left nut butter in the container, then I added Rice Milk, two Frozen Bananas, and a spoon full of Raw Cocoa Powder. Buzzed that up on High and Voila - my hubby got a delicious, chocolate/banana/peanut butter shake! If you ordered your Vitamix from me, I always see that a 3-pack of Vitamix spatulas are included with your order. These spatulas are very firm all of the way out to the edge, and they are also nice and narrow. I couldn't get along without these spatulas! Keep this concept of using what is left over in the container for something else and do it as often as possible. When I finish a Green Smoothie, I always buzz up a bit of water in there and drink it (ok I'm weird). When I make hummus, I leave it in there and try to follow up with a soup. When I make Salsa I always leave a lot in the container, then add and avocado to make guacamole (which I usually eat all for myself in one sitting ;-)You can also make a nut milk sorbet - Here is the Recipe Folder of our Links Page:/links/Recipe_Links_001298558025/Search for a post titled "Almond/Pecan Sorbet" I just added that link after searching for that post in the archives! :-)After Green Smoothies I buzz about a cup of water in the container and after it has cleaned most of the green smoothie off of the container I drink the "green water". :-)Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><On'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))><On Dec 24, 2011, at 1:25 PM, Ami Brainerd wrote:I’m wondering how you all get the peanut butter or other nut butters out of the VM. I ruined a pampered chef scraper trying to get ice cream out. How in the world do you get nut butter out?
