We all love peanut butter, well, not all of us but most of us. The peanut butter that we buy from the supermarket are full of preservatives, some of them harmful to our health. Today we learn how to make our own peanut butter from scratch at home.
Making your own peanut butter lets you determine how much salt you want in it. And it is easy, very easy to prepare. You can also make variations to the peanut as much as you want.
Today we look at how to prepare simple peanut butter.
Ingredients.
- 3 cups Peanuts, roast them yourselves.
- 3 tsp Honey
- ½ tsp Salt
- 3- 4 tsp Oil (optional)
Procedure
Place the roasted peanuts in a food processer or a blender.
At first, the speed should be low to break up the peanuts, then increase the speed. After a minute or two, stop the processor and scoop the peanuts from the sides to ensure all the peanuts are well processed.
Continue processing at high speed for about two minutes until a thick chunk is formed.
Then add the salt and honey. You can also add the oil, it helps to keep the peanut smooth. Continue processing for a minute or two. Allow it to cool.
Store the peanut butter in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.
Note: you can replace the honey with cocoa for chocolate peanut butter.
