Put 3 cups of coconut into a high speed blender. I use an old Oster.
3
Start blending on a low speed, and using a knife keep pushing the coconut down into the middle.
Within a few seconds the coconut will start to fly around.
4
Immediately add another cup while continuing to scrap down the sides into the middle and increase the speed to HIGH or if you have many setting, 1 or 2 below the highest. It should combine rather quickly. If not be patient. All coconut has different water content and some combine faster than others.
5
When the coconut starts getting creamy add another cup, 1/2 cup at a time while continuing to scrape sides down with the knife, and stirring the mixture.
6
As you continue to add the coconut the butter will become thick and you will think that it will never get smooth and creamy. But be patient.
7
At this point I like to wait til the butter gets very creamy until adding additional coconut. Then continue to add 1 cup at a time, adding slowly so the coconut is incorporated.
8
I use 6-8 cups to make 16-20oz''s of butter.
9
Once you have 2-2 1/2 cup of butter in your blender you''re ready to bottle it.
But beware, it may not last that long!
10
That''s it! Now you are ready to eat your coconut butter!
Enjoy
