What up everyone,
Me and my wife LOVE peanut butter – for so many reasons. High in protein, packed with amino acids and fibre.
I used to get it from the health food store in KG tubs and finish them off in a week. At £5 (Rs500 / $8) a go – it was an expensive habit. Now we are in India its a little more difficult to find in the unsalted / unsweetened version. If we do find it, it comes in 200g jars – which, needless to say, disappear pretty quickly. Plus they still have some preservatives added to them.
So here is the way to make peanut butter. I never knew how easy it is, I tried a few different methods before this one posted below, which is by far the simplest and easiest.
What you need:
You might want to try roasting the peanuts before you blend them – totally up to you, just changes the flavour. Go for 180 degrees for about 18 – 22 minutes with a bit of oil in there.
Do things in this order exactly:
1. Chuck a cup of nuts into the blender
2. Hit the blender on low
3. Add some more nuts (dont over fill the thing)
4. Crank the blender upto max for about 30 seconds. (If its getting stuck to the side then stop and scrape if off) Should look a bit like breadcrumbs now.
5. While its on high – open the lid and trickle in some nut oil. Then allow it to blend more, adding a little at a time until the consistency is how you like it.
6. Add a little bit of honey to taste. (When you add the honey, it will start to clump up and you’ll have to stop it now and then to scrape the sides down)
And thats it! Delisch.
