Nut Butter Help

[therawdeal]

I just purchased the same kind of food processor that Alissa uses on her DVD. So, it is not a Vita-Mix.....can I make nut butters in a regular food processor? Has anyone done this before? I was thinking of chopping the nuts first, after soaking them, then using the processor. I did buy some Flax Oil to add to it. Let me know what has worked for you.

Thanks, Kelley

I make my hubby nut butter all the time in the food processor.

I've made nut butter in the Magic Bullet. I didn't soak the nuts first an I didn't add any oil. Nuts are pretty oily to start with so you probably wouldn't need to do that.

Do you soak the nuts first? I tried putting almonds in the food processor and just got a grainy mess.

Do you need to add oil? I would think the nuts have enough of their own oil.

Julie do you find that your nut butters come out consistant in the Magic Bullet?
