Homemade Peanut Butter image

The best Peanut Butter. Three ingredients; nothing could be easier. I have been making peanut butter ever since food processors came out. When I used to babysit my grandkids they would eat it here, but now that they are older, I make it and deliver it to their homes. I have listed the ingredients in approximate proportions. I never measure, but go by the looks of it. Because I have to record measurements, I put down what I think it should be. I use Planter's Cocktail Peanuts in a can but have used other brands in a pinch. See instructions for more information. When I make this I drizzle a little oil until it is the right texture and then add the honey. The honey with make it more solid. Sometimes I have to add a tad more oil. If you continually make this you will see. It is well worth the making as it is DELICIOUS.

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/2 cups salted peanuts
4 tablespoons vegetable oil (or canola, safflower but NO olive oil)
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Put the peanuts in the food processor and grind till they are fine and they start to back down into the bowl.
  • Add the oil and process again till very well blended; it will be quite soft at this point.
  • Lift cover and add the honey; process--after you add this it will tighten up and become more solid.
  • NOTE: At this point the texture should be fairly soft as it sets some in the refrigerator, but if it is too hard add a tad more oil, but not too much.
  • Put into a container and refrigerate.
