Nuts with a high oil content are very perishable and can go rancid quickly. Choose vacuum-sealed bags. Store nuts in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing other food odors. If desired, substitute cashews for peanuts. Cashew butter, like any nut butter, can be used as a spread on bread, in baking cookies, or in dipping sauces.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups unsalted roasted cashews or peanuts
• 2 - 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar, optional
