Almond butter instead of peanut butter?

[Muse]

If you make it yourself (roast the nuts in the oven, make your nut butter in a durable blender such as an Osterizer), the cost of exotic nut butters is comparable to that of already roasted and ground natural peanut butter. However, even so, I make my own peanut butter and haven't made almond or cashew butter for a while. They're very good, but I'm happy with peanut butter nowadays.

If you want to buy almond butter or cashew butter you should find them at Trader Joe's. Whole Foods as well, of course. Costco has good deals on almonds (2 lb bags). For cashew butter, buy cashew pieces, which you can get at Trader Joe's in 1 lb bags. They are preroasted, so that saves you some trouble.

Yep, I've found most store-bought almond butter needs salt added. Nothing beats it though, if salted a bit, on fresh homemade multi grain bread with very ripe banana slices and a drizzle of honey...mmm...

It is tasty on sandwiches and toast.

I like my almonds hard, and my peanuts grinded. Peanut butter FTW.

I was in a Publix I think in south carolina and I saw the greatest thing ever. A Peanut butter maker where you jar your own fresh peanut butter. Anyone ever see this? Smelled amazing but I didn't get to try it. It looked a bit like an ice cream maker.

Apple butter is fucking delicious and that's all you need to worry about.
