MAKE YOUR OWN

Honey Almond Butter

Serves 16

_{Recipe: Hy-Vee}

Making your own almond butter is easier than you think. Just grind roasted almonds into a paste using a food processor. Spread it on bread, use it as a dip for fruit or use in recipes that call for peanut butter.

All you need:

• 12 ounces Hy-Vee slivered almonds
• 3 tbsp Hy-Vee vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp honey
• ½ tsp salt

All you do:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
2. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process almonds until finely ground. With the processor running, add oil, honey and salt. Continue to process until almond mixture has formed a thick paste.
