This recipe makes a wonderful peanut butter that's more satisfying to eat than anything from the store. The recipe specifies using raw peanuts, but you can buy roasted peanuts to save yourself time.
- Prep Time: 10 mins - Cook Time: 6 mins - Total Time: 16 mins - Servings: 12 - Yield: 1 ½ cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled raw peanuts - 1 ½ teaspoons peanut oil - ½ teaspoon white sugar - ⅛ teaspoon salt
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread peanuts on a rimmed baking sheet. 2. Bake peanuts, stirring every 2 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. 3. Combine peanuts, peanut oil, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade; process until peanuts are chopped and the mixture forms a ball, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the food processor bowl; continue processing to desired consistency, 1 to 3 minutes more.
I never thought about it until now, but my wife inherited a high end food processor about 25 years ago which we never used. It was made at a time when that brand was still expensive and worth it. I think I'm going to make peanut butter, substituting the sugar for honey. Thanks for your post!
Skip the peanut butter and make something that is actually good. Make almond butter, hazelnut, walnut or pecan. Just any nut that is actually a nut. Pesnuts are not nuts. They are tubers.
