Simple Homemade Peanut Butter

Recipe Description:

Real peanut butter, as smooth or crunchy as you like, is easy and economical to make in 5 minutes or less using your food processor. There is no need to add additional oil. Unsalted or salted, with or without added flavorings, you will never want to go back to “store bought” again!

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: n/a

Servings: 1.5 cups peanut butter (approx.)

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound Organic Unsalted roasted peanut halves

Recipe Instructions:

Pour your peanut halves into the bowl of a food processor.

Process, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until your butter is quite smooth.

If you prefer "chunky" peanut butter, just put in a handful of peanuts when the peanut butter is smooth and let the processor run just long enough to chop them up a bit.

You may, of course, add some good sea salt to taste, if you wish.

You can add sweetener or other flavorings, if you like.

If you will be storing your peanut butter for any length of time, it may be refrigerated or frozen. I leave a small amount out at room temperature and refrigerate the rest, as it is too stiff right out of cold storage.

I’m able to buy organic roasted peanuts at our local co op but I’m wondering about the need to soak peanuts. We soak and dehydrate almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc but I have trouble with almonds (they make me break out) but can handle peanuts ok. Thoughts on soaking and roasting peanuts vs buying them already roasted (and probably not soaked)?
