  * Technically speaking, all cashews must be slightly cooked before
    being sold. Buy the ones called "raw" in the store.
  
  Spread the cashews about 1/4" thick on a shallow baking dish or pie
  pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 300°F, stirring once. Blend the
  cashews, 1/4 cup at a time in the blender until finely ground. Add
  all the ingredients to the blender and liquefy. Heat the sauce on
  medium-low heat, stirring regularly. When thickened and hot
  throughout, serve over vegetables, grains or other main dishes.
  Keeps 6-8 days in refrigerator.
  
  Makes: 3 cups
