I just soaked and dried my first (and won't be the last) 10 pounds of really raw and organic Carmel almonds from Briden Wilson Farms in California. Took 27 hours in the Excalibur, but the butter was perfect out of the Cuisinart. Some of it then was used as the basis for some yummy nut balls, with coconut flour, chia seeds, and some other stuff. I can share the recipe if there's interest. Lloyd Thanks, Wardeh, for posting this; I was hoping to find just this kind of experience.

But with the addition of about a tablespoon of ghee fixed the problem. Since I am on the GAPS Intro, I was not able to use my usual cold-pressed olive oil, but in the future will probably do so. The Cusinart did heat up significantly. I got a little worried. Any troubleshooting tips on that one? I used the food processor for this and found out I had low-fat almonds.

I am trying to find a good price on raw, organic nuts but...it is quite daunting! Do you get your nuts locally or do you mail-order them?

I think the food processor works much better. It has a wider base to allow for better circulation. Still, no appliance can overcome lack of oil, IMO. So lower-fat almonds are not going to make good almond butter no matter what you use. Amy – No, I don’t use the VM for nut butters. I think the food processor works much better.

I do have a Foodprocessor.. but one of the reasons i got the VM was to make nut butters. do you make other nut butters in it? Wardeh,

Are they a high-fat variety of almond? If so, they will work well here, probably. Zak – No, I haven’t. Are they a high-fat variety of almond? If so, they will work well here, probably.

It might work out great though, as sometimes the almonds tend to be really dry otherwise. Let me know!
