Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Hazelnut shortage in Turkey? Don't rush the grocery store and start hoarding Nutella. Do try making your own chocolate-hazelnut spread using domestic nuts from Oregon and Washington! As always, from scratch tastes better and takes less than an hour!
I used my blender to whip up homemade nutella. The first step was to toast the hazelnuts in the oven to remove their skin. After that it was a few minutes blending the ingredients and my from-scratch version was ready to be devoured.
Just in time for the holidays... Homemade Nutella which is perfect on toast, off the spoon or sandwiched between Chocolate Shortbread and Simple Sugar Cookies. Santa will love you for it!
Do you have a food processor, a few basic ingredients and about half an hour? Then you can whip up a jar of this chocolate-hazelnut spread. Think of it as Nutella's vegan cousin, full of chocolate-y, nutty goodness and sweetened with maple syrup.
