Has anyone made this with the Wildside jar and raw almonds?
I have made it a zillion times in the Wildside+ jar but used roasted almonds. You can use raw (so they say) but you’ll need to add a bit of oil after the almonds have ground down a bit. If you want to keep them "raw" be sure not to blend for a long time because the mix will get warm. They won’t cook, per se, but it will be noticeably warm to hot/warm.
For the record, do not try this with chocolate covered almonds. A) it’s too thick and will overhead the blender. B) the milk chocolate solidifies once it cools down and is useless as a butter. Makes a good snack though. Next time I’m going to try using mostly roasted with a few chocolate almonds, and perhaps add some cocoa nut oil to smooth it out.
I made almond butter. I used the the Wild side jar and roasted almonds. Delicious! The process was easy. It took approx 20 minutes (only because I let butter rest for 5 mins a couple of times.)
I just got the Blendtec 475 can I make nut butters with it?
