I think they must be referencing the "fig" vinegar.  I noticed that there is no mention of how to store these.  I'm guessing they should be placed in a tin and refrigerated?  Not sure, or perhaps they will keep being left out?

Can you use a different nut butter other than cashew?

Yes, almond butter or a no-salt, no-oil peanut butter would work in this recipe. They have stronger flavors however, so you might not taste the fig flavor.

Most delicious.  The dried cherries are very much a value-added option.  Also, you are never going to want to use vanilla extract in anything again after using Dr. Fuhrman's pure vanilla bean powder.  Finally, I love adding walnuts to this.
