How to Make Almond Butter

Almond butter is healthier but costs about $20 a jar in the store. Here is a cheaper and tastier alternative:

2 cups whole, blanched almonds
1/4 c butter, cut in pieces
1/2 t almond extract

In a food processesor, add almonds to the beaker. Process, turning on and off rapidly, until almonds are very finely ground and have begun to crawl up the side of beaker. Add butter and almond extract through feed tube and continue processing until smooth.
