Homemade Peanut Butter

The easiest and most delicious homemade peanut butter recipe. You won't believe how easy it is to make at home and how so much more delicious it is compared to store bought, plus there are no nasty ingredients involved. All natural and full of flavor.

Have you ever tasted homemade peanut butter? Ooooh, it is so good!

For homemade peanut butter you, of course, need peanuts (or any other nut you want to use). Sometimes you can get them farm fresh, at farmer's markets or at your local health food store.

When bought in bulk, the peanuts can be stored directly in a clean, re-sealable bucket or bagged and in your freezer.

We usually start with full 5 gal. buckets and break down one bucket at a time into freezer bags to save space in our freezer. When we need peanut butter, I thaw and grind a bag.

Benefits

• There are no preservatives
• You can salt to taste - or not
• There is no added oil
• No added sugar - unless you want to
• Fresh taste
• Normally less expense for better quality

I use the above pictured Champion Juicer, but I understand that homemade peanut butter can also be ground with a VitaMix or other powerful blender.

Roasting

• Spread a thin layer of nuts in a pan and roast in oven at 300F for approximately  2 hours.
• Stir the nuts frequently - do not allow to brown.
• Taste and continue to bake until the nuts are crisp.

Great Ways To Use Homemade Peanut Butter

• Add it to homemade ice-cream
• Freeze it in an ice cube tray or little moulds and dip in chocolate for a delicious snack
• Add it to desserts and batters when making cakes, brownies and pies
• Add it to smoothies for a healthy breakfast or snack
• Use it to marinade chicken or other meats
• Use it as a salad dressing with vinegar and oil
• Substitute for tahini when making hummus or dips

You can make nut butter with any nuts, here are a list of some of my favorites to use;

• Almonds
• Pistachios
• Cashews
• Hazelnuts
