Walnut Butter

Notes

Walnut halves or pieces both work well. Walnut butter is good for cooking or spreading on bread, crackers, or celery.

Just a heads-up, it's not uncommon to find a small piece of walnut shell in the walnut butter after processing.

Ingredients

  • 2-4 cups walnuts (frozen or at room temp)
  • 1-2 pinches salt (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Fill the food processor about 70–90% full with walnuts.
  2. Process, stopping every 1–2 minutes to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Continue processing until desired consistency, about 5–10 minutes total, including stirring time.
