To
make peanut butter at home all you need is: 16 ounces of dry roasted
peanuts (more or less depending on how much you want to make at once) a
pinch or two of salt and a food processor.
Place all the peanuts in your food processor and blend for 8-10
minutes. Every 2-3 minutes you may need to stop the processor and use a
spoon to break up the peanuts/scrap down the sides of the bowl. At first
the mixture will get crumbly/powder-y... just keep on processing
because it will turn creamy! Depending on the freshness of your peanuts
you may need to add a teaspoon or two of oil (canola, vegetable or
peanut oil work well) but it usually is not necessary. Once your peanut
butter is creamy, taste it and add a bit of salt if you like. Store in
an air tight container in your refrigerator for up to a month. If you've
ever bought natural peanut butter before you've probably noticed that
sometimes a little oil seperation occurs-that's normal, just stir your
peanut butter before use if you notice this happens.
