Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Grind Nuts

To grind nuts, blend them in a blender or food processor until finely ground.

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts adds crunch and intensifies their flavor. Oven toast at 350°F for 10 to 15 min. or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Or, cook on the stovetop in a skillet on medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently.
