Peanut Butter


Hello, all! I've been a bit busy the last few days with schoolwork, so today I'm sharing a nice simple recipe for homemade peanut butter.  Super easy, just throw everything in the food processor and you're good to go.  Plus you control the exact amounts of salt and sweetener that go into your peanut butter.  Don't be afraid to fiddle around with the amounts of different ingredients a bit until you find a taste and texture that you like.


Pre-blending


Peanut Butter
from Alice's Tea Cup, by Haley & Lauren Fox
makes approximately 2 cups
 

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups plain unsalted peanuts
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons peanut oil (I usually end up needing a little more than this to bring it all together)

1.  Combine peanuts, salt, and honey in food processor for about 1 minute, until no peanut chunks remain.  Scrape down, cover, and process another 1-2 minutes while slowly drizzling in the oil.  Cover and store in the refrigerator.  Stir to recombine before using.
