Well, when I first saw the subject line I considered what should be done
with the left-over almond bits from the almond-milk-making process
(instead of trying to congeal the "milk").
Yep, nut butter.
No, I have not tried to grind "milked" almonds fine enough for nut
butter. I have purchased commercial cashew butter in the past (I have a
great fondness for cashews...), grew up on peanut butter.
Nuts ground fine, a bit of added oil if they were processed previously
for milk, a hint of salt?
I know I'm probably missing something. How much heat and when applied?
