Date Butter

2-3 cups Dates, pitted
1/2 cup Water

In a food processor, or the BlendTec Total Blender, put dates with just enough water to moisten the dates. Mix well, pulsing at times and using a spatula to scrape the sides. Be very patient with this procedure. Add more water as necessary until the desired butter like consistency is reached.

Raw Almond Butter

1 Cup Raw Almonds (soaked overnight)
2 Tbs Raw Agave Syrup or Maple Syrup
1/4 Cup Grape seed Oil or Flaxseed Oil or 1/2 tsp Cinnamon Powder Almond
Oil
1/4 tsp Celtic Sea Minerals
1/3 Cup Water Dash Almond Extract

Wash Almonds thoroughly, drain and place in grinder (dry blade blender or Champion or Green Star Juicer or the equivalent). In a bowl, add oil, cinnamon, Celtic sea minerals, almond extract and agave sweetener and put in a high powered blender along with the almond paste and mix well, turning off the blender occasionally to scrape sides back into the center. Immediately store in refrigerator. Because the shelf life is very short, use immediately for snacks and all other recipes which call for almond butter or any kind of nut or sweet butter.
