Stir before using to incorporate the oil back into the nuts.A huge part of our daily activity evolves around food and drinks. Like any nut butters, yours may separate.

Choose neutral oils for best results, or try nut oils for a complimentary flavour (such as macadamia or walnut).Ĥ.

Today in our next post of the Culinary Fundamentals Series, I will show you how to make nut butters.

I will continue to stick with my electric ones for now, thank you very much. If you happen to have a hand cranked mixer or grinder, than go right ahead. Given that I’ve been using an electric food processor and a stand mixer for each post so far, I can’t say that they are truly as basic as they could be, but I hope that my readers would appreciate the ease in which you can make all of these foods. It really makes you wonder how people got along without it! The fridge gone, the stove gone, the heat, the television, music, computer, lights, everything. Lack of power in this day and age, for any length of time is a pain in the behind, a big one. What it did make me think of was my Back to Basics series. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a snowy evening. We had dinner (cheese, crackers, veggies, winter ale…perfection) by candlelight as we sat in front of our woodstove and read books. It’s a good thing our compact SUV fit under that tree! I guess cottage country is the lowest on the totem pole, as it were. We made it into a good day though, playing in the snow with the little ones and heading into town (where only 1cm fell) to have breakfast at the in-laws (thanks guys!). There are only five or six houses in our neighbourhood that are occupied at this time of the year. No one came out to fix it until about 24 hours later. On Saturday night we had the misfortune of living on the only street that lost power. Over a foot of snow and it’s still coming down. It’s been a rough couple of days out here at the lake.
