HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER

Cooking Time: 0
Servings: 1 cup
Preparation Time: 4

Ingredients

2 cups roasted, shelled unsalted peanuts (without red skins)
1 tablespoon peanut oil (optional)

Directions

Place peanuts in a food processor. Blend continuously for 2 or 3 minutes. The ground peanuts will form a ball which will slowly disappear. If necessary, stop machine and scrape sides of container with a rubber spatula. Continue to process until mixture becomes spreadable. Add peanut oil if needed to make it sufficiently spreadable.
For Crunchy:
When desired consistency has been reached, stir in 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts for crunchy style peanut butter.
Place mixture in a tightly closed container and store in the refrigerator. During storage, oil may rise to the top; if this occurs, stir before using.

Notes

Homemade is always better. Can add a little honey or surgar if you want a sweet peanut butter. Or add spice or flavorings to make up your own new kind. Salt is up to you!
