Place the nuts in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add enough filtered water to the bowl to cover the nuts by 1 inch. Cover and soak overnight.

Drain the nuts and rinse until the water runs clear.

Place all the ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender and process until smooth, about 1 minute.

Pour the mixture into a saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until thick, about 8 minutes.

Serve warm or cold with dried fruit.
