Pecan Maple Cashew Butter:
Tips FAQS
Can I use Pecans only?
Yes, but keep in mind that Pecan skins are very astringent, and will add bitterness to your Butter. The cashews help tone down the bitterness of the Pecans, resulting in a rounder flavor.
There is a lot of residual maple syrup in my pot, how do I clean it?
Sometimes stirring isn't enough and a lot of maple sugar remains at the bottom of the pot-Don’t stress!
Just place the pot back on very low heat and wait for the sugar to start melting on the sides and on the bottom. Gently scrape any remaining sugar crystals out with a wooden spoon.
If there is very little residue, add 1 cup of water to the pot and bring to a boil. The sugar will then easily melt, and you can drink the water as a delicious and nutritious winter tea.
