Almond butter may be found next to the jams and jellies in some supermarkets. Otherwise, you can make it by grinding together 1 cup roasted almonds and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a food processor or blender, then adding 3 tablespoons almond or vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream, and blending until the mixture comes together. This recipe makes ¾ cup.
To roast almonds, place them in a preheated 350°F. oven on a baking sheet for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.
