How to Make Your Own Peanut Butter
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups salted dry-roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Combine peanuts and oil in a food processor or blender. Blend until creamy. If making a large amount, you might need to work in small batches and stop the machine occasionally to scrape the peanut butter off the sides.

You can make chunky peanut butter by chopping 1/3 of the peanuts coarsely, and stirring them into the finely blended peanut butter.

With home-made peanut butter, you'll need to stir it occasionally, as the oil will drift to the top of the jar. Keep refrigerated in a tightly covered jar.
