Lushy Nut Butter
- Super simple

Nothing can replace the taste of homemade nut butters. You can make the process quicker by skipping roasting the nuts, but the flavour will be a little less richly developed, so we recommend you roast them. Keep the butters in sterilised airtight containers‚ ideally jars with a rubber seal. They'll keep in the fridge for up to a month!
