How to cook deliciously - Almond Butter

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 325°. On a large baking sheet, spread almonds in an even layer and toast until fragrant and lightly golden on the inside, 15 to 17 minutes.

2. Stage

Let almonds cool until pleasantly warm, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer almonds to a high-powered blender or food processor. Add salt and blend on medium-low speed, stopping every minute to scrape down sides and incorporate almonds, until almonds are completely pulverized and a ball forms, 3 to 10 minutes. Continue to blend until butter is completely smooth, loose, and shiny, scraping as needed, 3 to 7 minutes more, depending on your machine. If motor overheats, unplug and let rest until cool.

3. Stage

Add honey and oil, if using, and continue to blend until smooth and runny (mixture will seize at first), 7 to 10 minutes more.

4. Stage

Transfer butter to a clean jar and store in the refrigerator 4 to 6 weeks.
