Make sure to peel them while they're still warm/hot as it's much easier than when they cool.Add walnuts and pecans to the food processor and process for about 2-3 minutes until finely chopped.With the food processor running, add the coconut oil. Let it continue processing for about 2-3 more minutes then add honey, vanilla and salt.Scrape down if needed then continue processing and add water until the mixture starts to come together a bit more.Stop the food processor when the mixture can be pinched together with your finger and is essentially "spreadable". It will not be as creamy as a regular nut butter.Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
