I made peanut butter. It was much easier than I thought and tastes delicious. J loves peanut butter so I was excited to be able to make my own for him.
Peanut Butter Recipe
16 ounces = 2 cups of shelled, skinned, and roasted peanuts. I found them in the bulk food section of Winco. You can also buy a bag of roasted peanuts and shell them yourself. This is what I did for my second batch. Or go even farther and roast the peanuts, then shell them, then make the peanut butter.1 tsp salt
3 tsp honey
2 Tbs peanut oil
Food processor peanuts, salt, and honey for 1 min.
Drizzle in peanut oil as you continue to process for 2 more minutes.
Continue processing until you get the desired smoothness of peanut butter. J likes his peanut butter smooth. I like crunchy.
Freshly processed peanut butter tastes so good. It is nice and warm from the machine. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months.
Enjoy
I make homemade peanut butter too! I don't add any sweetener(although I've considered it) but I do add salt and extra virgin olive oil. I've never really measured. Your peanut butter looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have thought about just going with olive oil, but I wasn't sure how it would taste so I just stick with peanut oil. I need to try different seasonings next time like cinnamon or curry and see how that tastes.
