All dry nuts can be ground into a buttery paste called nut butter, which

has multiple uses from breakfast to dessert. Roasting nuts before grinding them into nut butter adds a depth of flavor. (See How to Roast Nuts Recipe.) Cooking Light magazine suggests these pairings for nut butters: almond butter and apples; cashew butter and vegetables; hazelnut butter and chocolate; macadamia nut butter and desserts; pecan butter and meat; pistachio butter and cream cheese. Yield: 1 cup nut butter.

Ingredients:

1 cup nut pieces, raw or roasted (whole nuts are more expensive and are unnecessary for this purpose)
Optional additions: 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp honey
