This isn't hard, just take some time. Your food processor will get warm so don't worry when that happens. Keep a close eye and be ready to scrap the butter off the sides and from under the blades. I made 3 batches, added salt to 2, and coconut oil to 1 just to see if I could taste it. I like all 3 equally well and I look forward to making specialty butters for a fraction of the price you can buy them for. I used the almonds I had soaked and dehydrated, doing that step is totally up to you!
