Ingredients

1 pound 454 g dry-roasted, lightly salted almonds (see notes)

Instructions

Place the almond in the blender or food processor. Process on low speed (blender) until finely chopped. Scrape the sides of the bowl/container, especially the corners.
Process again (higher speed for blender) for 60 to 90 seconds until almonds begin to clump together (it will look a bit like crumb topping). Scrape and then blend again for 1 to 2 minutes until a cohesive butter forms.
You can stop at this point (for a thick butter), or scrape the bowl and blend again for 1 to 3 minutes until the nut butter has a dripping quality.
Scrape into storage container(s) and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Notes

Storage: Store the almond butter in a sealed container (I prefer glass jars) in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Almond Notes: (1)1 pound of almonds is equal to about 3 dry cups; (2) You can use unsalted roasted almonds and add salt to taste. or leave out the salt altogether per your needs/preferences; (3) You can always dry-roast your own almonds! Spread the almonds on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake in a 350F oven for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Cool completely before using. Add desired amount of salt, to taste, when making the almond butter.
