Home Made Peanut Butter Recipe

posted in Recipes on 11/13/2014

Makes about 1 1⁄2 cups of peanut butter.
-2 cups (470 ml) peanuts (option: buy pre-roasted, [salted] peanuts)
1- 1⁄2 teaspoons (7 ml) peanut oil or vegetable oil (if desired)
-1⁄2 teaspoon (2 ml) sugar (if desired)
pinch of salt (if desired)

Begin by removing the shells from peanuts.
Chop peanuts in food processor continuously for 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture forms a ball.

Scrape peanuts down from the food processor bowl into the bottom as needed when processing the peanuts. Continue processing the mixture until it is of your desired consistency. For smooth peanut butter, you may process the mixture for a longer period or drizzle in 1tsp peanut oil while processing

Taste your freshly made peanut butter and add a dash of salt or sugar if needed.

Spoon peanut butter into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for a day or two so it can set into a thicker paste

Add small quantities of brown sugar, molasses or honey if you prefer a sweeter taste. :)

TIPS •Consider cutting back on the oil in future batches until you use none. Natural peanut butter contains nothing but peanuts, which is a very healthy and tasty food rich in protein. •If it's too salty add more sugar or honey. •If you like chunky peanut butter, set around 1/4 cup of peanuts aside while chopping up the rest in the food processor. Throw them into the food processor only when the rest of peanuts are almost done and process for a few more seconds
