DIRECTIONS

In a food processor, grind half the almonds until very fine. Remove and repeat with remaining almonds. Total ground nuts will yield 1-3/4 cups. Put all nuts and remaining ingredients in the food processor. Cover and process until a paste forms. Gather together and store, tightly sealed, in a plastic bag. Yield: 1-1/3 cups (13 ounces).
