Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Place 2 cups of unsalted roasted peanuts in a food processor. Ensure the peanuts are evenly distributed inside the processor for uniform processing.
Start the food processor on high speed, allowing the peanuts to blend for about 2-3 minutes. The peanuts will first become a crumbly texture, and then as the natural oils release, they will form a ball before turning creamy.
Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the processor. Honey not only adds sweetness but also contributes to the viscosity and smoothness of the peanut butter.
Sprinkle in 0.25 teaspoons of salt. This will enhance the nutty flavor of the peanuts.
Add 2 tablespoons of water gradually. This addition helps in moderating the consistency, ensuring it's spreadable and not overly thick.
Blend the mixture for another 1-2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. If desired, stop intermittently to scrape down the sides of the processor to get an even texture.
Taste the peanut butter and adjust sweetness or salt to your preference.
Transfer the peanut butter into an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
Stir the peanut butter before each use, as it may slightly separate over time.
