Hey all.
I've done a quick search but it didn't bring up alot on my questions.
We currently run a Macadamia Nut Hobby Farm so it has around 850 trees on it so we are trying to find something to do with the ones we don't sell/sell some ourselves due to nut prices falling this year.
One thing I am experimenting with is Nut Butter.
All the recipies I find says just roast em and throw them in the blender with a bit of oil. I've tried this three times now and I don't get a consistency which is good enough. Once I have mastered this I am looking at using 40% coconut as that reportedly is the healthiest butter you can get.
I am also interested in how you go about covering nuts in chocolate. I gather you melt the chocolate but how do you dry the chocolate? If I place them on a sheet of something the nuts sink down and leave a portion uncovered by the chocolate.
If anyone has any other suggestions then please post them. I am opening an online store soon to sell these nuts and would like to add some variety to the store!
Cheers,
Michael.
