Has anyone tried to make raw almond butter using this jar? I understand that adding oil and roasted nuts work well but what about raw nuts?

I did use this jar for Kirkland Unsalted Mixed Nuts make a butter very well, you don't have to add any oil!

I haven't had much success using raw almonds, but when I roasted them in the oven for a few minutes, my results were much better. I don't add any additional oil.

Yes. Worked great. Added nothing. Just Almonds. Tried adding a tiny bit of honey. Too sweet

No I have never used it to make nut butters however I've used the whip attachment to make mayonnaise? I would think you would use the multi-purpose blade to break up the nuts to a paste, then may be use the mincer or something to smooth it out? Probably would help to use a tall narrow vessel such as the 600 mL beaker.

It works great for making almond butter. It comes out super creamy. I use raw almonds and do not add anything else.

Everyone's taste varies. I would try it in a small amount to find the right density & consistency to make the tortilla. Frying Almond flour will probably cook faster, so beware you don't burn the tortilla or the oil you will be using. We use Pure Coconut Oil & Pure Olive Oil but since you can not tolerate Coconut, what about peanut oil? For me I like to experiment. If you have the time and like doing that, then experiment. Yes please let us know, what you did and how it turned out! Happy Thanksgiving!!

I recently made cashew butter with this model. I don't own a dry container, but the wet container worked great - very easy and yummy. Just pour in at least four cups of nuts (I like raw and organic the best) and use the tamper to push the nuts down into the blade. The only problem is getting every delicious bite out of the bottom of the container!

I don't like raw almond butter. I believe this is roasted. I do not like the almond butter TJ is selling since the recall last year. This is possibly the best I've ever had.

Absolutely! I make some very easy to make but very yummy Almond butter. Nothing else needed beside this jar and the blender.

I have had that happen before, in different brands of almond butter. It just requires some stirring to mix it up.

I'm reading these questions, because I've received this item as a much-wanted gift. (I'm thrilled!) And, coincidentally, I've just read an interesting series of posts about using a pestle and mortar for making nut butters on another site. See link. (I hope it's OK to post it.) Look for the comment and answers from a poster named Nablusiya. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/796482?page=all

Yes, does a great job making almond butter. I've not made peanut butter, but have the impression that almond butter is more challenging for a food processor. I've made it (almond butter) 3 or 4 times. It takes about 12-15 minutes, & doesn't seem to stress the machine. (I do let it rest in ~30 second increments after running for 1 - 1.5 minutes at a time, just to avoid any problems). Once it reaches creamy consistency, let it go for another 1.5 - 2 minutes & it'll get creamier (& easier to stir into other foods, etc.).

I have blended peanut and almonds with water into a very fine drink. If you don't have enough water the blender will overheat and shut off. I have not been able to make pure nut butter, but can finely chop nuts with my muffin batter or green drinks.

I have made almond milk with great success in the ronco juicer. I find it much easier than using my vitamix and then a nut bag... I usually run the liquid through a second time just to make sure all small bits are out and it leaves you with a smooth milk. I have not used the juicer for almond butter. I am seeing that you sent me this email quite some time ago, and am wondering if you, at this point, have used the juicer for almond butter?

You can make "ghee" using a centrifuge, using raw butter...but that technically makes it butter oil, since it is almost a perfect method of seperation. and you also lose the nutty flavor from the traditional heating process used.

Peanute/cashew butter was the first thing I tried in this unit when I got it, because I was skeptical. But Oh my gosh, it makes the best, creamy, all natural nut butter of any kind! Nothing to add, just nuts! You'll love it!

I've made a nut "cream" with soaked cashews and the soaking liquid, with good results. I use my food processor for nut butters, and wouldn't even try it in this blender. I think that it wouldn't work well and it looks like it would be a pain to scrape a nut butter out of ANY blender. UPDATE: I decided to try it myself. This blender had no problems being adequately powered for the job. The cashew butter that I made turned out much smoother and creamier than with my food processor. I did need to add water so that it would blend without my scraping the sides every few seconds. But when I refrigerate it, it will be solid enough.

You can. I crushed almonds with this for a recipe. This will make nut butter but you have to put the nuts through the machine again and again to get a better consistency.

Yup. Well, I've only made almond butter, but I would think it's the same. I've also made raw cereal with it.
