Cashew-jalepeno butter

We sort of stole this idea from the co-op, because they use this butter on several sandwiches. It's AMAZING on the Back to Nature multi-grain crackers! The only mistake we made was buying mild jalepenos rather than spicy ones. sad.

You'll need:
3 c Raw cashews, not roasted
Jalepenos (we just use the ones in a jar)
Canola oil

Blend cashews in a food processer. Once it resembles a butter consistency, add jalepenos (we used about half of the jar, although you may need less if you use spicier ones). Add in oil as needed, to reach desired consistency.

Brad has been eating this on a sandwich with portobello & roasted peppers. It's also delicious in wraps with mixed greens, tomatos, sprouts etc. Be creative...it's a great compliment if you want to give your food a little kick!
