NY is big on peanut butter. Really big. So big that we go through at least a jar every week. He prefers natural peanut butter so we started making our own. We use our Vitamix and love it! Before the Vitamix I used a food processor. Fresh peanut butter is easy to make and has only one ingredient: peanuts!
Ingredients:
4 cups roasted peanuts (one pound). We use Trader Joe’s 50% Less Salt, Roasted and Salted peanuts.
1. Place 4 cups peanuts in the wet container for your Vitamix (or in a food processor).
2. Set your Vitamix variable speed to one and the high/low switch to low.
3. Turn the Vitamix on quickly turning the variable speed to ten. Switch to high.
4. Use the tamper to push the peanuts toward the blade. Mix to the consistency you desire. Remember: the process is quick.
5. Keep in an air tight jar and store in the refrigerator.
Makes 1 3/4 cups.
