| 1 | Which brand of dried apricots do you prefer and where do you buy almond butter? I want to make the apricot, oat and chocolate slice from the recipe on Stuff's food page. alfredtonroad - 2019-07-21 16:57:00 |
| 2 | You can make your own almond butter - just roast blanched almonds until they are a little shiny then blend until they turn to paste - you may need to add a little oil but this is how I make peanut butter and almond is the same process. I buy whichever dried apricots feel softest in the packet. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/homemade-almond-butter/ Edited by sarahb5 at 6:07 pm, Sun 21 Jul sarahb5 - 2019-07-21 18:05:00 |

As in the recipe in the link, I don't bother to use blanched almonds either, a little darker in colour but no change to the taste of the end product. Raw almonds are cheaper than blanched too. Edited by nauru at 6:42 pm, Sun 21 Jul nauru - 2019-07-21 18:39:00 |
| 5 | BTW sarahb5, thanks for the link above, there are some great recipes in there. nauru - 2019-07-21 18:59:00 |

| 9 | Where do you find actual raw almonds that haven't been heat treated? malcovy - 2019-07-24 07:52:00 |

| 11 | These apricots IMO are the best, not like the tasteless Turkish ones. wheelz - 2019-07-24 14:42:00 |

Yes, I have done that on occasion in the past but we really don't mind using them unblanched. Plus eating the skins is beneficial for heart health. nauru - 2019-07-24 19:54:00 |
