Honey Almond Butter

I've been dying for some Almond Butter. I kinda prefer it to peanut butter, mostly because I'm a snob. Jk, actually I prefer the flavor. 


So while watching Toast (a British film about Nigel Slater, a British food writer) I decide it's bloody time to make some!  I got a cup of almonds for 3 bucks and made some. Once again, this was way easier to make than I thought. The blender was a pain in the butt (I definitely suggest using extra oil to help the process). But i n the end it worked out fine! I also added some honey for extra flavor and texture. 


Sea Salt and Honey Almond Butter 
from http://tastykitchen.com/blog/2012/04/sea-salt-and-honey-almond-butter/ 


Ingredients: 
- 1 cup dry almonds (you can get roasted as well)
- Honey
- Sea Salt
- Nut oil (optional) 


Directions: 
1. Blend the almonds in a food processor or in a blender. They blend in various stages, from chopped to fine to butter. It takes time, for sure, so be patient. Add
2. Scoop out and add to a container. Mix in honey and sea salt to taste. 


Notes: 
- The recipe I used said to use 1 teaspoon Sea Salt and 2 tablespoons Honey to start
- I used peanut oil so I opted not to use the sea salt. 
- I put it in the fridge. We'll see how it holds up. 


PS- Toast is cute. It's like if Beautiful People was placed in the sixties and instead of fashion it's food. It's on Netflix, like so many other fab British movies. I recently watched Fish Tank. Ummmghphrrrr Michael Fassbender = goooorrrrgeousssss!!! and horribly talented. A bit creepy when he has sex with a 15 year old (which is what the movie is kinda about) but still it's wonderfully good.
