Old Fashioned Peanut Butter

Homemade peanut butter is easily made with an electric blender or food processor. The longer you blend or process, the softer the peanut butter will be. Storage: Store in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator. Oil may rise to the top, if this occurs, stir before using. Direction for Using an Electric Blender Place ingredients in blender. With the lid secured, blend until mixture becomes paste-like or spreadable (3 to 4 minutes). If necessary, stop the machine and use a rubber spatula to scrape mixture from the sides of the container and back into contact with the blades. Continue blending until desired consistency is reached. Note: For crunchy style peanut butter stir in 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts after the blending is completed. Yields 1/2 cup smooth or 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter.
