Cashew Cream Sauce

Place cashews in a medium glass bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for at least 2 hours.

Rinse and drain cashews. Pour the 2½ cups of warm water along with seasonings over the cashews.

Submerge the immersion blender below the surface of the liquid, or as close to the ingredients as possible.

Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Move the immersion blender around, including up and down, to blend the ingredients for approximately 1 to 2 minutes or until desired consistency is achieved. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
