Peanut Butter
Description
How much do you pay for your peanut butter? When we weighed up the time to make our own against the price to buy a jar, we converted instantly.
The price of raw peanuts? Last we checked 400gm of raw peanuts were around $3 … that’s pretty good considering a jar of peanut butter can easily come in at $5-$6+ – particularly when you’re buying a family size jar for a peanut butter loving family!
No sugar. No additives. No gluten. No dairy. All you need is 3 large jars and a clan of peanut lovers!
Crunchy or smooth? This recipe makes so much you can have both!
Ingredients
| 1 tsp. salt |
| 400gm raw peanuts |
| 3/4 c. vegetable oil/extra virgin olive oil (whichever is on hand) + extra if you like your peanut butter extra smooth! |

- 4
- Allow to cool on the tray.
- 5
- Once cool, pour peanuts, salt & oil into the jug of a blender/food processor.
