Directions for Making Peanut Butter

Directions for Making Peanut Butter

Ingredients

• 1 bag of unshelled peanuts or 1 can (2cups or 1 lb) od shelled, row or roasted peanuts (Ithink unsalted is healthier – you can always add SALT, if you want to)

• Vegetable oil (just a small amount, 1 or 2 tablestoons). I prefer peanut ail, but corn, sunflower, safflower, etc,. All work. I would not olive oil because it would adversely affect the taste.

Equipment

• Blender or Door prcessor ( a Bblender or fine food grander seems to work best)

• Bowl

• Spatula

Recipe and Directions

Step 1 - Shell the peanuts Unless you bought shelled peanuts, you will adviously need to shell them and discard the shells (they make great Munch in the garden or add to your composta). I just quickly shell them by hand, and don’t bother much with the thin read skins. Whe I have the peanuts shelled, I take them outsider and just blow into the bowl while Stirling it. The skins flota away!

Step 2 – Assemble your Blender or food processor and ingredients Set up ypur Blender or food processor with the matal dfood processor blade attached, and add 2 cups of raw or roasted shelled peanuts into it.

- Después de tres minutos.

Step 3 – Get chopping! Cover the bowl with the blender’s lid and chop up the peanuts continuously for 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture starts to cump up andi s finely chopped.

- Rápidamente.

Step 4 – Scrape and finish chopping Scrape down the food processor bowl to mix back the peanuts that are pushed to the outside where they won’t get chopped. Process until you get the consistency you like (chunky or smooth).

- En la licuadora o procesador de alimentos.

Step 5 – Add the vegetable oil Most peanuts don’t contain enough oil naturally to make a amooth butter. You Orly need to add about 1 and ½ teaspoons of vegetable oil (peanut oil is best, obviously, but any nautral flavored oil, like sunflower or canola oil Works). Junt mix it in with a fork. Your Blender may not be powerfil enough to do this without sticking, so you may want to mix the in, in a separate bowl.

- Sabor a mantequilla ya sea con sal, azúcar, miel o edulcorante.

Step 6 – Tasting taste the peanut butter and add a Couch of SALT, if you like! For thase that prefer a sweet peanut butter, you can add 1 tablespoon of honey, brown sugar or, if you are diabetic, Stevia (or if you prefer, Splenda) or other artificial sweetener.

Step 7 – Eat or store Just spoon peanut butter into a jar and seal. Store it in the refrigerador until you use it. It should keep for a month or two. You can also freeze it. It will keep indefinitely in the freezer. In both cases, you may need to stir the peanut to mix the oils back in (the oil tends to separate over time), and no, you cannoy “can” the peanut butter – it us too low acid to safely can with home equioment.
