      Title: Natural Hazelnut Butter
 Categories: Butter
      Yield: 1 Cup
 
      2 c  Oregon hazelnuts (9 oz);
           - roasted
    1/2 ts Salt
    3/4 ts Powdered sugar
 
  Natural hazelnut butter will be dark brown in color, due to the
  presence of some skins.
  
  Food Processor:
  
  Place roasted hazelnuts in food processor container with all-purpose
  blade. Process to coarse butter texture, about 3 minutes. Gradually
  add sugar, salt, or other ingredients through feed tube. Scrape down
  sides; continue to process until desired texture is achieved, 4 to 7
  minutes.
  
  Blender:
  
  Place roasted hazelnuts and 1 tb vegetable oil in blender container
  and grind to meal on low speed. Continue to blend on low for several
  minutes, scraping down sides of container as required and adding
  another 1 tb oil, if necessary. When butter is fairly fluid, blend on
  high for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired texture is achieved.
  Gradually add other ingredients and blend on low until thoroughly
  mixed.
  
  For Crunchy Butter:
  
  Stir in 1/4 cup roasted, chopped hazelnuts or raw sunflower seeds to
  finished butter.

  Note:
  
  This recipe is for "old fashioned" butter with no stabilizers; if
  kept refrigerated, very little oil separation will occur. Shelf
  life is about 3 months in the refrigerator.
