Coconut butter

This was inspired by a visit to the Yori house, where Clara introduced me to coconut manna: http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Coconut-Manna----15/dp/B005P0KEL0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1338427803&sr=8-2
Yum!

Ingredients:

8 ounce package of Unsweetened Shredded Coconut - I get 8 oz packages of this at Hyvee where they sell the dried fruit and nuts

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon of almond extract - can use vanilla extract too
Pinch of sea salt
2 large spoonfuls of almond butter

Add all ingredients to a food processor. Let it run for 15 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides of the food processor throughout. Note - if you have a vitamix blender, this is easier and quicker to make. Coconut butter is ready when a paste is formed. Place coconut butter in a small tupperware container, and spoon a layer of almond butter over the top. Enjoy by the spoonful. This is a delicious source of healthy fat.
