Beautiful recipe for cashew butter. I have yet to try the sauce but this is a great tasting alternative to store bought peanut butter. I made this after inadvertently burning a tray of raw cashews that I was roasting in the oven and couldn't bring myself to throw them away. So pulsed them a few times in my magic bullet with vegetable oil in place of the walnut oil and in a few minutes cashew nut butter was born. Amazing.

I have only made the cashew nut butter recipe as that was what I was looking for when I did my search. I made mind without the salt .. I processed the mixture for 45 seconds as I wanted a thick and crunchy spread for my toast, bread and rice crackers. The honey adds a nice sweetness to the butter. I have made it without the honey as well. The butter has a good nutty flavor with the mixture of the cashew and walnut oil. I added another teaspoon of oil and processed for the whole minute to make it smooth and creamy for a friend who wanted a creamy cashew butter with no salt added. I am looking forward to making a walnut butter with this recipe. I will definitely be making my own nut butter from now on as it tastes so much better than bought ones and is easy to make in the food processor.

Amazing flavor, but the sauce was a little thick. Some cilantro and lime juice really brighten it up, too.

Taste=Great. Texture=Problem. First time, grainy. Second time, added more oil, ground the nuts more, thought I had it perfect. But wait til next day, back to grain, like sand. It's impossible to spread, but it is so tasty.

This recipe is excellent and so easy to make. We had to alternate canola oil for the walnut oil in the butter but it was still packed with flavor and excellent.

I usually don't leave any comments but I just had to do this one. I made the butter part only too but it was so simple yet so packed with sophisticated flavor. My picky, peanut butter loveing hubby loved it too. Mine didn't come out as smooth as Alton's on the show but I couldn't leave my food processor on as long as he did coz my dinky little motor was starting to smell. Might as well coz we like ours with a bit of crunch.

I made the cashew butter recipe only and it is delish. I don't think I'll go back to commercial pb again. I also love the simplicity of this. I didn't have walnut oil, but used peanut oil in its place, and also used raw cashews (in my excitement to try this I managed to overlook that it called for roasted cashews. Mine actually came out a little on the chunky side, but since cashews are kind of a soft nut, I didn't mind. I will definitely be trying the sauce soon.

The cashew butter is amazing. Alton is right, once you try this, you will never go back to peanut butter again. You know what the cashew butter goes great with? A spoon. Yep, that's all you need. But it will require all the willpower you can muster to put down the spoon.

Wow, I can't say enough about how delicious and easy this is! I have eaten almond butter for several years now and this blows any store bought almond butter out of the water! After I quit licking the spoon, I proceeded with the sauce and put it over brown rice and chicken with sauteed carrots, red bell peppers and shallots. Amazing. I really enjoy the show Alton! Oh yah, I used one cup of raw cashews and one cup of roasted. I will probably use only raw next time as I have heard the line "Roasted nuts are dead nuts". Not sure how true that is...

I decided to make this after I saw it on "Good Eats," because I am a huge fan of nut butters. This is by far the best cashew butter I have ever tasted; I will never go back to store-bought again. Mine came out a little chunky (had to use the blender, as I don't have an adequate food processor, but the sweetness of the cashews accented by the salt and the richness of the walnut oil makes this taste almost like a dessert. Good enough to eat with a spoon (and I did!
