Peanut Butter Time!

 I go through a lot of peanut butter at my house. I LOVE a peanut butter and jelly sandwich anytime of day. I was reading the ingredients label on the back of my peanut butter container before I threw it away and was surprised by how many ingredients were listed. I thought...Isn't it just supposed to be peanuts and oil?? So, here is a recipe I threw together after doing some reading on the subject.
If your used to buying peanut butter from the stores, this peanut butter may take some getting used to. After I made this peanut butter, I gave my husband a taste and he said "tastes like peanuts" well of course. It's peanut butter! It tastes alot like.....peanuts. (:

Shell about 2 cups of peanuts. Or buy shelled roasted peanuts from the store. Just try to get unsalted.


Spread onto cookie sheet and Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 for about 8 minutes(or until golden) shaking the pan every 2 minutes to prevent burning.

Remove from oven and cool.

Put roasted peanuts in a food processor.

Add about 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 tsp salt and 2 tbs honey( you can use whatever sweetener you like. brown sugar, honey, or whatever you decide.)

Process in food processor until it is the consistency you like. For smoother peanut butter, process longer. There you go! Peanut butter.


  Put peanut butter in a jar and store in refrigerator for up to a month.
 You can play with this recipe until you find what best suits your taste. Enjoy and have fun with it!
