Homemade Peanut Butter




Source of Recipe


David


List of Ingredients




1 cup Roasted peanuts -- unsalted
2 tablespoons Vegetable or peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
1/2 cup Chopped peanuts -- unsalted (optional)



Recipe



Making homemade peanut butter is easy, not to mention very tasty. All you have to do is throw roasted peanuts into a blender with vegetable oil and as much salt as you want (probably 1/2 teaspoon). Then whiz until it is peanut butter. You will want to refrigerate and use it, as it will go rancid easier because it is without chemicals to keep it fresh.

To make crunchy peanut butter, simply whiz a first batch to the "chopped" stage, dump them into a bowl, then do the next to "creamy." Mix the two and you have great crunchy peanut butter.

Taking it a step further, you can home-can your peanut butter to keep it from going rancid by packing it tightly into clean canning jars to within 1" of the top, wipe the jar rim very clean, then place a previously boiled warm lid on the jar and screw the ring down firmly tight. Process the jars in a hot water bath for 1 hour.

Remember, this old fashioned peanut butter will need to be stirred before each use, as the oil will tend to rise to the surface when it stands. Great stuff, though.
