NUTTIER NUT BUTTER

Nuttier Nut Butter image

I made my butter out of 4 varieties of nuts as I was getting tired of peanut butter. Make sure you get your nuts when bulk bins are on sale as this can get expensive. This recipe is for smooth butter; for a crunchy nuttier nut butter, coarsely chop an additional 2 teaspoons of each nut and stir in after food processing step is finished.
