SC - butter

[Terry Nutter]

Hi, Katerine here.  Cariadoc quotes me and responds:

>>There are at least six recipes for almond butter extant from the 14th and

>milk) from almonds. Is that correct?

More or less right, except that I'm not all that sure I'd call it butter-like.
It's made of almond milk, thickened and coagulated to a more-or-less 
butter-like consistency.

Cheers,
