Long story..... Our family often buys those big plastic jars of mixed nuts from Costco, and those jars go pretty quick.... Almonds, always end up as the last ones surviving Butt, they love Almond butter on toast...... So, I saved 3 jars of leftover Almonds and hit them with EVOO and Mad Hunky and smoked them with Apple wood.... Good eating at this point.
Then, put them in the food processor and pulverized them good..... Scraping the sides every so often, as needed, then added some EVOO to get some moisture into the mix..... Pulse.... Scrape..... Pulse..... Scrape until I got the consistency I wanted. Actually had to add a few raw Almonds to tighten it up a bit, and a little more Mad Hunky for good measure Pics look kinda runny, but stirred up a bit, its "firmer"..... Not quite typical Peanut butter consistency, but slightly looser.
Taste test was great! Better than the store bought stuff the wife unit buys, with a hint of smoke, and a hint of Hunky. Salt was not needed, as there was some leftover from the original jars, but sure could be added if starting with raw Almonds. Give this a try
