How to make nut butter?

What is Nut butter?

Nut butter is butter that you get from nuts like peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts,

cashew and other nuts.

Is it easy to make nut butter at home? I would say it's absolutely delicious and is so easy to make at home with the help of a food processor. Actually, I didn't know about making nut kinds of butter but when I saw #pickuplimes nut butter post I can't wait to try out this recipe because usually, I like to buy peanut butter and almond butter from the stores and they are bit expensive it cost 7 euros or more.

Now, I 'm really happy to find out how to make these gorgeous nutty jars of butter at home without spending money. 

I would highly recommend you to try out almond butter recipe you will definitely love it like me.
