Ingredients

2 cups unsalted roasted cashews
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar, optional

Directions

In a food processor or blender, combine the nuts, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the salt, and the sugar, if desired. Process on high speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and process to desired smoothness, adding more oil, 1 teaspoon at a time, if a smoother butter is desired. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.

Transfer to a bowl to use as a dip, spread, or in other recipes, or place in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

Pretty Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy and good, however, I liked Alton Brown's recipe a little better (see cashew sauce).

Really good!

I made this with plain peanuts. It's the only peanut butter I like. Now I'm addicted. I eat it almost every night on... either homemade banana nut bread or, another of Emeril's recipes, homemade chocolate chip bread.Read more
