Cashew Cream Recipe

1 cup water

3/4 cup clean, raw cashews

8 pitted dates

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

pinch salt

Process first 3 ingredients in a blender until very smooth. Bring to a boil, then add

remaining ingredients. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, stirring constantly.

May be served warm or cold. May also be used without heating.

Yields: 1 cup or 8 servings.

Variations: For a creamier, less rich cream, add 1/2 - 3/4 cup cooked brown rice and

process well.

Adjust water, if necessary; for a white cream substitute 1 Tbsp. honey (or white stevia) for dates.
