LET'S MAKE PEANUT BUTTER

Ingredients:

• Roasted unshelled peanuts
• Vegetable oil
• sugar (optional)
• salt (optional)

Other supplies:

• blender for smooth, food processor or grinder for chunky
• measuring cup and spoon

Begin by shelling peanuts and measuring out 1 cup of shelled nuts. Remove the red skins from the peanuts.

Use a food processor or grinder for chunky style peanut butter by chopping the nuts until they are at the desired consistency.

Chop the peanuts in a blender for a smoother consistency.

Add 1 - 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, a bit at a time, and regrind or reblend until it looks like peanut butter.

Add only a little bit of sugar or salt at a time until it tastes just right.

Store your homemade peanut butter in a jar in the refridgerator.
