How to Use Champion Juicer to Make Nut Butter

Do not keep your Champion juicer in the cabinets until you want a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. Take it out to make other tasty concoctions such as nut butters. Experiment with different types of nuts both toasted and raw to find your favorite. Combine nut varieties to personalize your nut butters. Almond, cashews and peanuts produce the best results and you can avoid the additives found in jars of butter sold at the supermarket.

Things You'll Need

• Champion Juicer with nylon blank insert
• 1 cup raw or roasted nuts with or without salt
• 1 to 2 tbsp. neutral flavored oil (ie peanut oil or canola oil) (optional)
• 2 cup capacity bowl
• Funnel attachment for Champion juicer and tamper
• Salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Remove the juicer screen and replace with the nylon blank insert.

2. Set the bowl in front of the chute to collect the processed nut butter.

3. Place the funnel over the feeding chute, pour in ½ cup of the nuts and switch on the Champion juicer.

4. Add in 1 to 2 tbsp. oil on top of the nuts in the funnel nut butter gets made. Use more or less oil to achieve a desired consistency for the butter depending on the type of nuts chosen.

5. Pour in the other half of the nuts and press the nuts through the funnel into the juicer with the tamper. Increase the pressure on the tamper to make chunky nut butter and push slowly and gently to create a smooth nut butter.

6. Turn off the machine, and add salt to the nut butter taste if desired.

Tips & Warnings

• Shut off your Champion juicer during the processing of the nut butter if the sides begin to feel warm. Allow it to cool completely before resuming.
