Walnut Butter

For a change from peanut butter, make a batch of outrageously good and good-for-you walnut butter! You can use raw or toasted walnuts: raw walnuts make a very creamy and smooth texture that tastes like a just-shelled walnut, while toasted walnuts make a sweet, coarse, and nubby spread.

DID YOU KNOW? 
The Greeks called walnuts karyon, which means “head.”  If you look closely, the shell looks a human skull and the nut looks like a brain!
