Homemade peanut butter

Over the last few months, I’ve made homemade bread, a strawberry spread, and many other recipes. This time, I decided to go with something simple:homemade peanut butter

This recipe will require only three simple things: peanuts, a little salt ( if your peanuts  aren’t already salted), and a food processor. You will want to take your food processor and fill it with 3 to 4 cups of peanuts and a little bit of salt. Once in the processor, mix on and off scooping down the sides of the processor container as you give the processor a rest during off periods.  You will want to process the peanuts in the processor at intervals of 45 seconds on 15 to 20 seconds off to clean. Rinse and repeat for roughly 10 minutes until smooth and creamy. This is enough to make one mason jar full of peanut butter.

A labor of love

This is a great homemade treat that can be enjoyed in a sandwich with my sugar free spread and my low carb bread for a homemade pb&j, a base for homemade peanut butter cookies and the list goes on. For optional additives, you can add a little peanut butter for a honey peanut butter blend as well. Until the next time, dear readers, excelsior!
