is the almond butter supposed to be really hot when it’s done?
Hi Melanie, the recipe instructions are written for the Twister jar, which is round and has tines. You turn the jar during blending to scrape the almond butter toward the blade. You can use the WildSide jar for this recipe. Midway through blending, you may need to turn off the motor, take off the lid, and scrape down the sides of the jar. The result will still be delicious almond butter. :-)
I mix half raw and half roasted… yummy! I am
so addicted to this!
I am so excited I have to share this somewhere and this seems the best place. I have been struggling to make a creamy raw almond butter in my Blendtec with the twister jar. So far all my attempts gave me smooth but dry butter, even adding some oil. I had success tonight and this is what I did. FIRST I ground the nuts in my Wildside jar with the grind grain setting. Then I put the ground raw almonds in the Twister Jar and again used the grind grains setting. I had the smoothest creamiest raw almond butter before the cycle even finished. Amazing! I am sure I could have done the whole thing in the Twister Jar and will do that next time. The secret is in the setting :)
I keep trying to make raw almond butter with the wild side jar using 1.5 c almonds and a tbl of oil. I have blended it 10 times at speed 7 and 9, scraping to the center each time and it never got smooth. Suggestions?
