I'm looking for a tried and true recipe, one you have used multiple times.

I'm tired of paying for a staple I can maybe duplicate at home. I only have a small food processor, tho.

Thanks.

It's many years since I have done it but it is pretty easy to make. Get
some fresh peanuts (in the shell), husk them and remove the skins. Put
them in a food processor and whizz them for about a minute. Add salt,
sugar or honey to taste, add a little extra peanut oil if needed for
texture.

What a crappy recipe. Try spreading that on bread.

If you can remember to store your peanut butter or tahini upside down and then flip it once in a while you don't need to mix it.

What else do you expect to find in peanut butter?

I don't make my own because I don't eat enough PB to bother. But the PB
I buy contains only those two ingredients.

I could not believe how incredibly slow
the Salton machine was. But it did produce
peanut butter. Most other methods produce
a grainy butter.

I go to the peanut grinder at the grocery store and flip the switch, and
then turn it off when I'm done.

I use the Bamix container, add some salted peanuts, a half packet of
Nutra-Sweet and enough olive oil to make spreadable. I usually only make
enough for one serving. I like it on flax crackers.

I like to add some olive oil to make it more spreadable.

I have seen it made in a blender. There's not much to it, just grind
the (shelled) peanuts and add a little salt. Drizzle in a tiny bit of
oil to made it spreadable. Pretty tasty. I wouldn't do huge batches
of it because I don't like refrigerator hard peanut butter and I don't
think ahead far enough to take it out and let it warm up. I don't
know what possessed me to buy the jar of "organic" peanut butter
that's residing in my refrigerator at this point because I already
knew the drill.

I'd say it would much more useful with cold tahini than cold peanut
butter.

I like peanuts but I'm not much for peanut butter, especially when
it's a jar of mystery peanut butter. I buy 5 lg bags of in the shell
peanuts anyway for feeding birds but once or twice a month I steal
some.

We used to have those here, but they've been removed. Not sure why,
but probably because they're a PITA to clean. Now, if you go to the
right store - you can scoop it out of a bucket.

We made it when I was a kid. We had a Mr. Peanut peanut butter maker. Put
the nuts in his hat, turn his arm and the nut butter came out into a little
dish on the other side. One serving at a time. We used only peanuts.
Nothing else.

Why do you need to add sweetener to peanut butter? IHMO, peanut butter
should not be sweet.

This is why I stated that just peanuts and salt was a crappy recipe.
And it's just MY opinion so no one get mad. For me, you would need to
add a bit more oil to make it creamier plus a "wee bit" of sweetener.
I see that most recipes use honey for that.

I LOVE peanuts and I love peanut butter but they are not the same
animal, imo. This might sound dumb but peanut butter made only from
peanuts tastes too much like peanuts to me. heheh I welcome a bit of
sweetness to it. Give me Jif or give me death@

I have done it years ago. It will put a strain on your blender. The
recipe I had was just peanuts. That's the way we still eat peanut
butter. We look for the ones with nothing added.

I've been eating Skippy for over 60 years now. I like it and would
not take the time to make my own when it is so readily available. PB &
strawberry preserves on toast is my breakfast about 3 times a week. A
tablespoon of PB and handful of raisins is a good snack too.

Welches (I think) makes a strawberry preserve that tastes just like my
gramma used to preserve each season. I forget the name of it (none
here now) but I was VERY impressed with the home-canned taste.

Never thought of PB with raisins but I have both and will try later
today.

One other favorite late night snack of mine... toast hot, slather
peanut butter on it then top with a thin slice of swiss cheese. Do
this all right when the toast pops up and is hot. The peanut butter
will melt and the cheese will soften. I like it.

Sweet vs salty is the eternal peanut butter debate and I like my Jif.

Never would have thought of cheese. On a cracker, a drop of ketchup
on the PB is good.

Dang - unadulterated is even better! Skip the bread and use a spoon
as the vehicle to get it into your mouth. Why didn't I think of that
before?

It doesn't matter to me if anyone likes JIF. Seems to me that's what
Mom bought when I was a kid, that or Skippy. I just happen to like the
Publix "natural" PB. It contains nothing but peanuts and a little salt.
A jar of PB lasts about a year around here. I don't eat a lot of it,
but I do like it on toast sometimes for breakfast.

If it's "natural" you have to store it in the refrigerator, don't you?

we don't. It's up in a dark, cool cupboard. I think it would depend
on how quickly you consume a jar of it. (you still have to stir it)

Are you serious? I thought that was a favourite for most kids. When I
was kid one of the favourite birthday party gourmet delights was to
smear a piece of bred with peanut butter, lay a banana on one side of it
and roll it up and slice it into PB&B pinwheels.

Someone else mentioned PB and raisins. That was another of my
favourites, along with PB and honey or PB and lettuce. PB was good with
strawberry or raspberry jam, but not so great with marmalade.

Yes. Store the jar upside down. Then stir it to blend in the natural
peanut oil.

I used to eat peanut butter and banana (even peanut butter and dill
pickles) but I hadn't heard of putting chocolate syrup on it before.
Turns out he was talking about a PB&B sundae, not a sandwich.

Mine doesn't get used very quickly (maybe a jar a year, if it's being
consumed "often") and the place where I keep it also gets pretty warm
because it's over the stovetop.

I thought you were setting me up, Ed. I'd give it a try and then
everyone would laugh that I even tried it. heheh

But then I googled it this morning. Seems that some do like the

one cracker lost... Doesn't sound good at all but I'll give it a try.
