Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup California raisins
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Add the California raisins and water to a small microwave-safe bowl and cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap.
Microwave the raisins for 30 seconds to soften them, then let them cool slightly.
Transfer the softened raisins, along with any remaining water, to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Add the peanut butter, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the food processor.
Blend the mixture on high until it is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed. This may take 2-3 minutes depending on your equipment.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding a little extra honey, if desired.
Transfer the spread to a clean, airtight jar or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the spread on toast, crackers, or as a dip for fresh fruit. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
