Notes
Strage tips
Store homemade nut butters in clean jar with tightly covered lid as exposure to oxygen can make it rancid. Alway use clean spoon for serving.
Keep all nut butters in fridge, and they are good for more than a month. If you like soft butter, you can store on counter top too for more than a week. If you want to store for longer, you can keep in freezerupto 3 months.
You can even make a large batch and store in freezer. Just take out a small portion and store in separate jar in fridge.
If oil separates give your butter a whisk.
Discard almond butter if solid part liquify or smell or taste becomes sour.
