Method

Place the almonds in a food processor and blitz until you get a fine powder, then continue for about another 5 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until you have a lovely smooth butter.

Store in a clean glass jar outside the fridge. If you decide to keep it in the fridge, bear in mind that it will solidify.
