ingredients

300g/2–2½ cups nuts
Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Makes one jar and takes 10-12 mins.

1.

Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F/gas mark 2. Spread the nuts out on a large baking tray in a single layer. Roast until golden brown, about 10–15 minutes.  Keep an eye on them, as nuts can turn from golden brown to burnt very quickly! Generally speaking, when you start smelling them around the house it’s time to take them out – pronto!

2.

Tip the nuts into a food processor with the salt, if using, and blitz. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, depending on how powerful your blender is, but don’t stop until the nut butter is smooth and glossy: After 2 minutes: The nuts turn into a crumble like texture. At this point, stop the blender and use a spatula to scrape down all the pieces.

3.

After 4 minutes: A small ball forms. After 6 minutes: The nuts will be smooth, but will still have a slightly rough texture. After 8–10 minutes: Don’t stop yet. Keep going until the nut butter is smooth, glossy and runny. Pour into an airtight container or jam jar. It will be good for 3 months, but to get the best flavour from the nuts, eat within 2 weeks or so.
