Homemade christmas presents rock and with 12 days till Christmas this is what I'm making.
#1. Peanut & Almond butter (makes 500ml)
Making nut butters is easier than you think. Nuts + blender. That's pretty much it. Almonds are quite sweet so are nicely balanced by the dryness of the peanut. For any nut butters (cashew, hazelnut etc.) use a mixture of roasted & raw nuts. The raw nuts maintain more oil so good for butteriness. If it's too thick blend some more or add a little peanut oil.
