For the best flavor, use high-quality almonds that have been freshly toasted. Toasting the almonds enhances their natural sweetness and nuttiness. Be patient! The process of turning almonds into butter takes time and persistence. Don't be discouraged if it seems like nothing is happening at first. If your food processor starts to overheat, stop and let it rest for a few minutes before continuing. Almond butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
