Useful tips for Homemade Peanut Butter (with dates!)
The new Ascent Series has a program for Nut Butters. (Shown below is our Vitamix, currently an A3500.)
If you’re using any other model, ramp from variable speed 1 to 10. Blend on high for 2 minutes (with the tamper).
Use the tamper to gently push the ingredients into the blade from the corners.
You're going to hear a high pitch chugging noise. That's normal and isn't hurting your machine. That's how you know it's done.
Can't quite get all the PB out of your container? Blend up a PB&J smoothie with the excess!
Is it more difficult to make almond butter?
I finally took the plunge and bought myself a Vitamix E310, and this was one of the first recipes I made–O..M..G. AMAZING!! So smooth and creamy!
Yes! Welcome to the party. 🙂
Should I use the regular or dry container?
Regular! 🙂
So sad. I have the Ascent 2300 and have had a tough time making nut butter. The vitamix gets jammed quickly – and even after 3 minutes, the peanut butter is not smooth.
Got the E31 error code today – and the motor smelled hot and rubbery. Nice. Maybe I have one of the .05% of machines that are defective?
Maybe. Are you using Variable Speed 10?
