I do buy my tahini in a sealed can, and it then requires refrigeration after opening. So it might work? I know I’d be overjoyed to receive homemade nut butter for Christmas. :) Amy,

I've already successfully made homemade peanut butter and can't wait to try other nuts out. I am a college student and don't have much of a budget to give out elaborate Christmas presents to my family and friends this year, so I had the idea to make everyone their own nut butters. Since I would like to make them in advance, I was wondering if you had ever heard of being able to can nut butters without changing their tastes with the can boiling process? Thanks, Amy Heather,

I live on Maui and am looking for a way to actually "can" the nut butters so that I can make some nice Christmas packages to send to the mainland of jams made from our local fruits (strawberry guava or lilikoi) would like to make a macadamia nut butter. I have been making the almond butter in my Vitamix (well worth the price, I got rid of my food processor). However, am wondering if you know if the nut butters can be canned in the same way that jams are. Will it make the nut oil turn rancid? Aloha! Bonnie Aloha!

I just made it, roasting the almonds as suggested and it was perfect. I put them in the food processor still warm, and it only took about 7 minutes. Some Youtube videos made this using a ridiculous amount of oils. My life may now be complete! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!!! (Another life changer is when I discovered frozen "banana ice cream".

I've done the same with my Vita-Mix, but never with any other raw nut. The coconut oil worked great, and I loved the taste. Almond coconutty goodness. :) Awesome, thanks for sharing Terri.

Followed steps in the official Blendtec recipe book as shown below. After following the first 3 rounds of blending, it was still not creamy yet so I mixed in 1 Tbs of coconut oil and viola - after that it got creamy right away, on the 4th round. I used raw almonds, raw pecans, and roasted cashews. It tastes pretty darn good. Blendtec "Fresh Peanut Butter" 3 c nuts optional, 3 tsp oil Speed 1 for entire cycle; scrape sides down with spatula. Speed 5 for full cycle; scrape sides down with spatula. Speed 5 for another full cycle. Continue until reaches desired consistency. Tried this today with my Blendtec.
