Cook's Tips:

If you bought raw nuts, roast them in the oven before blending them. This will release the nuts’ natural oils and make them easier to blend. Roast them on a sheet pan for 10–12 minutes at 350°F (180°C).

If you bought roasted, salted nuts, omit the salt in the recipe.

You can use canola, avocado, or other neutral-flavored oil.

The butter will keep in the refrigerator for 4–6 weeks.
