Herbs And Spices - Sunflower Soy Butter

Soy nuts and sunflower seeds are ground together to make this peanut-free butter which is sweetened with cranberries for a great spread on cut celery, whole grain breads, and fruit. It also pairs well with soft cheese (don't add more salt though). Feel free to try other dried fruits as well, such as blueberries, cherries, or apples.
