Butter making question

[Guest guest]

OK - I'll make smaller, more frequent batches. Also, I leave commercial butter out on the counter and tried that with my raw butter. Next time I'll refrigerate the raw butter and I'm sure it will last loner ;-)

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.

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.
