It is sooooo easy to make your own nut butter! Having various nut butters on hand is great for a quick snack, sandwich filling and ingredients to add to sauces, baked goods, salad dressings, and even soups and stir frys. Walnut butter is full of omega 3s and the roasting in walnut oil gives a fantastic rich flavor to this delicious spread.
