Attempted to make almond butter

[Guest guest]

I wanted to make almond butter with my new Vitamix machine. I used raw almonds,

the machine was on variable and I went from 1-10 then to high and used the

tamper. I guess I was getting impatient and worried it would get hot and turned

it off and it was like powder. Waited several minutes and tried again. I again

got worried it was getting hot and turned it off and the almonds were like a

paste and hot. Should I have kept going? I'm assuming it should take several

minutes to get it to the creamy consistency that you want and it's normal for

the almonds to get hot? I don't want to add oil to get that creamy consistency.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
