Violetta, I did toast the almonds for 10 mins at 400 degrees F.
Betty, thanks for the instructions. I tried again today with skinless almonds, it was a pain to remove the skin but I was hoping it would work. Even though I toasted them for 10 mins they were a bit wet because I had soaked them to remove the skin. ANd that might have made it more difficult for the blender, I decided to stop after the blender started to get really hot. Now I have some sort of almond puree lol.
I guess I will have to stick to store bought almond butter... or will have to get a food processor.. I was thinking in the omega one.
