   This recipe could be very complicated for a simple nut butter. What is
   important is the proportion of sunflower seeds to peanuts. If you
   substitute butter for nuts, or meal for sunflower seeds, just be sure
   the proportions are correct. You may also use either raw or roasted
   nuts, seeds, meals, or butters in any combination.
   
   1. For whole seeds and nuts, grind them together in your blender,
   adding 1/4 to 1/2 cup oil to start them into butter. Add salt to
   taste.
   
   2. For meals: stir the meals (and salt) together. Add oil to turn
   them into butter.
   
   3. For butters: simply combine the two butters, adding salt if
   desired.
   
   Combinations: A delicious and crunchy butter could be made by
   reserving about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of whole sunflower seeds. Add these
   whole seeds (raw or roasted) to the finished butter.
