I get a massive kick out of making people guess whats in my almond butter (besides almonds). They freak out when i tell them it really is just pure almonds, roasted and processed until their oil is released making a paste. This is a good thing as its totally addictive. It is pretty pricey to buy so definitely worth making youself. Having a good food processor is important though, otherwise you might be there for a while. It takes around 10 minutes in my magi-mix. 2 cups of almonds makes about a cup of almond butter. Just roast the nuts in a hot oven, shaking the tin once or twice to ensure they are evenly baked, leave to cool and then grind in a food processor (or maybe a blender?) scraping down the sides a few times. Good on toast and wraps and by the spoonful.
