Ingredients

  • 2 cups almonds peels on
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Add the warm nuts, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon of the oil to a food processor or blender and puree on high speed for one to two minutes. Add more oil if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency. Taste and add more salt and the sweetener if using. Puree for 30 seconds more to combine.

    1. Dawn, The flavor of olive oil is more assertive. Also olive oil can turn bitter when blending. That said you can still try it just testing a very small amount.

    1. Hi Paula,

      In place of 1-1/2 tablespoons almond, peanut, or olive oil? Yes, that would work. I would recommend it be softened first. 🙂

  1. Do you use store bought jam in this recipe and if so what brand? My points calculation came out higher than yours using the jam I had. Thank you!

    1. Jessica, When we buy commercially made jams, we always make sure there is no added sugar. I often buy locally made jams from a Mennonite Market.
