Homemade nut butter and jelly.

Had a ton of nuts, mostly pistachio nuts, yet peanuts as well. Didn't use any other type of nuts.

Unfortunately some of the pistachios had hot spices and the peanuts are over salted. Both spices and salt was over come by the amount of unsalted pistachios which I mostly cracked myself.

With the exception of the above and adding a touch too much vegetable oil, I really do like it.

I'm use to spicy foods anyway! 🤣

All and all it's not too bad on a grape jelly and nutbutter sandwich....

Yes I am refrigerating the nutbutter. I know it will spoil easily.

(b) are you sure freezing it is a good idea? Maybe that's an irreversible process, and it won't be the same after thawing.

@helenS refrigerating isn't freezing.

I've refrigerated peanut butter tons of times. In fact you must refrigerate freshly made peanut butter. No preservatives.

@DeWayfarer Ah ok I see. Refrigerating = putting something into the fridge, where it will be kept at about 5C. 👍

@helenS So you know, rancid peanut butter is deadly poisonous. No preservatives, it won't last more than a few days at room temperatures.

@DeWayfarer I still remember the days when I was in the US, and didn't have money, so I lived from cheap peanut butter and sliced white bread which you could push and pull like an accordion, which is why I called it accordion bread, or squeezy bread.

@helenS I know that extremely well.

My father, who was a real professionally trained baker, ranted and raved about "Wonder bread".

When he first got to the USA in 1944 he worked for wonderbread.
