If it is chalky, I'm thinking you are. You want to use as fine a strainer as possible for a nice texture on the finished product. I use two tricks when running food through a strainer: 1. Use a ladle and with a straight up and down motion in the stainer. This unclogs the fine holes in the upward motion and helps push through on the way down. Use a nice slow steady motion. 2. I also have tap the top edge of the strainer with a wooden spoon. It seems to keep everything flowing smoothly. Keep cookin' Dude! I hope this was helpful. If you are still having problems call me on my cell 970-708-1496. Dude, My first thought would be are you leaving it in the blender long enough. If it is chalky, I’m thinking you are.

But after trying several recipes throughout the year, I still can't get the stuff to strain through a sieve. Maybe mine is too fine? It just chalks up right away. Any other ideas for straining this stuff? I was surprised how good this tasted. But after trying several recipes throughout the year, I still can’t get the stuff to strain through a sieve.

I only have roasted and salted almonds on hand -- will they blanch correctly? I'm so excited that I think I'll try it tonight, and if the almonds don't work, I'll make a special trip to the store just for almonds tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe and the tips!
