HomeMadePeanutButter/EasyPeanutButterRecipe

         I like peanut butter . I wanted to do it  for a very long time and the day has come,I made a perfect peanut butter .With peanut butter i did some cookies too.My daughter had it with her dosa ,bread everything, she is gone crazy for peanut butter so I wanted to do this one again and again .Very simple recipe with only 3 ingredients and it gives full satisfaction of making your spread home .This peanut butter is no less than store bought peanut butters like skippy etc.
         You can store them at room temperature for couple of weeks if its stored in water free,bug free  airtight container.No water while grinding makes the shelf life longer of this peanut butter.

Preparation time:15 min (peeling the peanuts)/Peeled peanuts save your time
Cooking time:22-25 min
Yields :Little less than half cup

Recipe source:Emma
Ingredients:

•  1 1/2 cups raw peanuts.
• pinch of salt.
• 1 tsp oil(or more for desired consistency).

Method:

• Roast the raw peanuts for 12 mins in high flame
• Reduce the flame and roast it for another 10 mins.
• Most of the peanuts peel of the skin when roasted.
• Peel the remaining peanuts by hand (takes around 4-5 min)
• Transfer the peanuts  to the blender/Mixer while they are hot.
• Grind the peanuts continuous for 2 min without adding any water.
• When the peanuts are almost done grinding add salt and oil and grind it for a minute or two until its smooth.
• Scrape the sides and store it in an airtight container.

• This can be stored for at least couple of weeks

Note:

• You can use peeled peanuts or roasted peanuts to save the time .I made peanut butter with unpeeled raw peanuts .
• When the peanuts are roasted then the skin will be peeled off by itself.
• Roast the peanuts until they become little brown
• If you have oven then you can roast them in oven with an oven safe plate for around 10 min (remember the oven should be already preheated).
• You can add so many variations to this peanut butter (chocolate chip or honey flavoured sounds like a good idea)
• You are not able to spread the peanut butter .May be you have grinded it too coarse .If not ,Add olive oil and mix it well .Now you can spread it ,right ?
• Some ideas of including peanut butter 

1. Cookies
2. In sandwich
3. Dip the fruits
4. Making peanut butter chocolates.
5. Adding to your favourite juice
