Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Warm water
Instructions
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat.
Add the almonds and walnuts to the skillet, stirring frequently, and toast for about 4-5 minutes until they are golden and aromatic. Be careful not to let them burn.
Transfer the toasted nuts to a food processor and let them cool for a few minutes.
Add the raisins, ground cinnamon, honey, and salt to the food processor with the toasted nuts.
Pulse the mixture until it begins to combine, then process continuously. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gradually add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, to help the spread achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Process until fully blended and smooth.
Taste the spread and adjust sweetness by adding a bit more honey, if desired.
Transfer the mixture to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve the spread with fresh bread, toast, crackers, or sliced fruits.
