How to Make Almond Butter

Good morning! I hope everyone is able to stay out of this crazy heat for a few days! It has been 105 degrees with the heat index in Chicago which is just too darn hot for me. I don’t like to complain about hot weather because I wait all winter for it..but seriously?!

Do you remember back in April when I shared how to make homemade peanut butter? It is easy to make and you know exactly what ingredients are going into it. Well today I am sharing how to make Almond Butter—I like to think of it as the sister or brother to peanut butter. I sort of have a favorite (peanut butter!) but this Almond Butter is pretty yummy too! I love to spread it on sandwiches, or crackers or apples (especially delicious in the fall when apples are in abundance).

Start by taking 2 cups almonds (I used dry roasted, unsalted but use whatever kind you fancy) and measure a cup of them.
