I always have that problem blitzing up nuts and seeds in my processor too. I've just bought a little coffee grinder to see if that doesn't any better - I'll let you know.Lysyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415024852684873909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-48203558462521265472008-09-21T22:03:00.000+10:002008-09-21T22:03:00.000+10:00Your entry is up on the No Croutons Required Septe...Your entry is up on the <A HREF="http://tinnedtomatoes.blogspot%20.com/2008/09/no-croutons-required-september-roundup.html" REL="nofollow">No Croutons Required September roundup</A>, along with the voting poll.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck<BR/>:)Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-31287771183244295102008-09-21T14:34:00.000+10:002008-09-21T14:34:00.000+10:00That looks like a soup I could take to, even if E ...That looks like a soup I could take to, even if E didn't! Happy anniversary to you both. :-)<BR/><BR/>Although Ricki says you can't make the cashew cream in a food processor, I've made a couple of similar cashew cream/milks in ours with moderate success. I've found through trial and error that the most successful approach is to grind the cashews alone, past the sandy stage until they're butter, before slowly adding the liquid. Perhaps if you didn't like the flavour of what you ended up with, this version wouldn't be for you anyway.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-19063804785010582352008-09-21T12:17:00.000+10:002008-09-21T12:17:00.000+10:00thanks Mary - I actually thought it tasted better ...thanks Mary - I actually thought it tasted better than it photographed<BR/><BR/>thanks Ricki - I did remember you making the distinction between the food processor and blender once before - but only after my cream went haywire - most recipes I can use my food processor or stick blender even if they say blender but I guess some I have to accept I can't do unless I get a proper blender - or visit you in Canada :-)<BR/><BR/>thanks Susan - it was delish<BR/><BR/>thanks Lisa - I hope to try it with marscapone too some time<BR/><BR/>thanks Lucy - I'd eat this by the bucketload too - but seemed a bit of a treat at this time of year - can't wait for the summer fruit to hit the shops!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-92180816015306402952008-09-21T11:26:00.000+10:002008-09-21T11:26:00.000+10:00Like a good snog, eh?

But it can't be made in a food processor--has to be a blender (the recipe did say blender, but I've gone back to clarify that is HAS to be a blender). With a food processor, I think a raw cashew butter might work. Oh, well, when you visit Canada, I'll whip some up for you so you can try it ;)<BR/><BR/>The soup does look gorgeous, though! Makes me want to go out and buy frozen versions of the fruit so I can give it a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-46391440579100207892008-09-20T23:11:00.000+10:002008-09-20T23:11:00.000+10:00Happy Anniversary!
