I make my own peanut butter because it's easy, it's delicious, it's inexpensive, and I have control over the quality of the ingredients. It's also very customizable: different nuts and different sweeteners can be used, and the amount of any ingredient and the roast time can be adjusted to taste.
3 1/2 c. raw, skinned peanuts
1 Tbs. oil, plus additional as required
2 Tbs. honey
3/4 tsp. salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place peanuts on a baking tray and roast, shaking tray occasionally, until they turn lightly golden (10-15 minutes).
2. Place peanuts in a food processor, and pulse until they are mostly broken down. Process until peanuts are about the texture of corn meal.
3. Add oil, honey and salt.
4. Continue to process until peanut butter is nearly smooth (5-10 minutes). If mixture does not become a smooth paste, cautiously add small amounts of oil until it amalgamates.
5. Transfer peanut butter to a jar, and keep refrigerated.
