Macadamia Nut Butter

Jani H. Leuschel
This smooth and buttery nut butter is marvelous on slices of pear or apple, and it makes a delicious dip for other fruits. It's also great on toast, rice cakes, English muffins, slices of banana bread--any sort of baked good!

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw macadamia nuts, toasted (see note below)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, Kosher

Instructions
 

  • Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds before starting prep.
  • Heat oven to 375 F.
  • Spread macadamia nuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in oven and toast for about 6 to 7 minutes. Nuts should be lightly golden and not fully brown.
  • Remove the parchment with nuts and let them cool on the counter while you assemble your food processor. You can also use a blender. Place slightly cooled nuts (they can still be warm) in the container of the food processor or blender.
  • Add salt and turn on the motor and blitz on high to a smooth consistency.
  • Scrape down the sides and pulse the motor a couple of times to smooth.
  • Enjoy with fruit or on baked goods. Use as ingredient in sauces, dressings, marinades, and other recipes.
    Store the butter in air tight containers, such as jars or lidded storage containers.

Notes

The motor of your blender or food processor will affect the smoothness of your butter. More powerful motors will blend to a smooth consistency more rapidly. 
Two cups of macadamia nuts weigh 10 ounces.
