Peanut Butter

Did you know there is a wonderful alterntative to buying expensive, sugary, oily, and not very fresh peanut butter?

I have discovered making my own peanut butter is quick, easy and so much fun. But most importantly it is so much more delicious. Spread on a thick slice of homemade multigrain bread, it is the taste you will never forget. It gets pretty addicting.

The cost of peanut butter here is about 3.50 US dollars. But for less than 75 cents, I can make the same amount of peanut butter from raw peanuts. All you need to do is add a bit of salt. No oils! The calorie difference is wonderful with less sugar and less fat!

Here is my photo journey in making peanut butter.

Roast raw peanuts in the oven at 350 F. until golden brown.

Use your grinder attachment to make the peanut butter.

While peanuts are still warm, place a portion of your nuts in the grinder (about half full) and grind till the peanut butter begins to stick to the sides.

Add salt if desired, about a 1/4 t. and then grind more about 2 min.

Place in container and store upside down in refrigerator.

Hope you love your healthy lower fat, lower sugar fresh peanut butter.
