Walnut Butter

Walnut Butter

Ingredients:
nuts, walnuts, english
salt, table
honey
spices, cinnamon, ground
oil, canola

Directions:
Soaked walnuts: This method will remove some of the tannin and bitterness from the walnut skin, and offer a more textured walnut butter.
Soak walnuts overnight, drain and discard the water.
Then, toast the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350F for up to 15 minutes to dry them out (dont allow them get dark).
Cool the walnuts before making them into butter.
Toasted walnuts: To enhance the sweet, nutty flavor of walnuts, toast them before making them into butter.
Walnut butter with toasted walnuts will provide a coarse textured finished product.
Toast walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350F for 8 to 10, or until fragrant.
Cool the walnuts before making them into butter.
To make the butter: Put the walnuts in the bowl of a food processor and grind them until they become sticky or paste-like.
Add the salt.
Add the oil, a little bit at a time until the walnut butter binds together.
Add the honey and/or cinnamon to taste.
