Soaking then pureeing cashews makes a slightly sweet and nutty crème that can be added to dishes as a thickener or flavor enhancer.

Rinse the cashews with a lot of cold water and then place in a bowl and cover with water. Allow the cashews to soak overnight.
Re-rinse the nuts in cold water and then place in a food processor.
Add enough water so that it covers the nuts by 1/2-inch and then process the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Stain the mixture through some cheesecloth and into an air-tight container.
Store in the refrigerator for several days.
