How to make Almond Butter (Recipe)?

Raw almond butter is made from un-roasted blanched almonds

Almonds are a good source of proteins, and have the highest amount of dietary Vitamin E. This makes almond butter very important to vegetarians. For proteins, 2 Tablespoons of Almond butter would be same as 1 ounce of lean meat.

To make almond butter, used a  Food Processor at continuous operation. Salt is added for flavor. Without oil, it will make a clump of nuts. Oil is added to give it a paste like consistency. I have used Canola oil. If you are a purist, use Almond oil in lieu of Canola oil. I have elected to roast almonds for flavor.
