Hazelnut Butter Recipe:

Ingredients:
2 cups raw (organic and fresh if possible) hazelnuts

Instructions:
1. Roast the hazelnuts for 10 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees F. or until the skin begins to crack.
2. Remove from the oven and while still warm remove the skin from the nuts. The skin should peel right off from the nuts. It's ok if there is still some skin left on the nuts.
3. In a Vitamix, Blendtec, or food processor blend the nuts, scraping the sides of the container periodically, until you achieve a creamy consistency.
