Hey, you inspired me. I stopped at the health nut grocery store on my way home from work and bought a bunch of nuts and some flax seeds in bulk. I dumped some flax seeds, almonds, and cashews into my food processor with some salt (used a little too much) and some peanut oil to help emulsify everything. I processed the hell out of it, and it made a really good cashew-almond butter for a decent savings over what I would have paid for almond or cashew butter in a jar (if you don't mind a little crunchier texture than store-bought). I also plan to do this with unsalted peanuts - but the health nut store didn't have any bulk unsalted peanuts for some reason.
Nice! I find a touch of honey is a harmless bonus to these kind of mixtures. Though I bet an almond/cashew mix tastes pretty darn good on its own!
