Homemade Peanut Butter

[seekermeister]

I don't know, since I've never tried that mix, but sometimes mixing good things together results in something less good.

True but does sound like a treat have you ever tryed coconut crackers and peanutbutter man that is Heaven

 

[seekermeister]

No, I haven't. but the crackers and peanut butter sounds okay, it is adding almonds to the mix that I'm not sure of.

I like to get a big spoon full of Honey Roasted Peanut Butter, add a package of M & M's, mix it up & then I have a snack (or dinner).

Way back in the 1970s, during the 'back to nature" craze, my mom would make peanut butter sometimes. She just used her blender. The method mentioned by boobah above looks about right... it was only peanuts, oil, and maybe salt. It never looked as "professional" as the store bought stuff, but man, it was good!

I get this at the supermarket. It's great with chicken, some sort of noodles, some green onion...yum

The recipes varies, but extra peanut oil is not necessarily required. I won't know until I try it out, but I think it depends on the type of peanut used. Although Valencias are frequently used, Spanish Peanuts contain more oil. Of course, as far as I have found so far, they seem to always still have their red skins on, and would need to be removed before processing, which would become quite tedious I think. It all comes down to preferences.

Looking at the ingredients listed for that, I suspect that it would be far better if one made their own.

I used to like peanut butter, especially the chunky type. Then I had the luck to sample "unsweetened" peanut butter. To my horror it was almost completely repulsive to me - which made me realise just how much sugar goes into regular peanut butter.

Have not had it ever since.

Funny when I first started eatting Saltless products like chips pretzels and nuts
The taste was like but then once you throw a few more in your mouth and get the natual flavor of it all you would get used to it

If you ever eaten saltless peanuts then that would be the same as sugarless peanutbutter and it's healthier for you too not all that extra junk your body doesn't need

I like peanut butter... Call me weird, but sometimes I just grab a spoon and start scooping chunks of peanut butter out.

Same here. Love it!

I'm still tinkering with this. The cost of the machine is not really a factor, but the cost of the peanuts is. Here is the cheapest that I have found so far:

Dry Roasted Peanuts (Salted) — Peanuts — Nuts — Nuts.com

In addition to the cost of the nuts, there is also $24 shipping for 30lbs tacked on. If anyone knows of a better deal, I'm all ears.

Peanuts have been expensive for at least the last two years. If the ones you get are as good looking as those in the picture, I would think you found a real bargain.

No way to know at this point, but if the feedback remarks are valid, it would appear that the photo must be accurate. I've always been good about getting the cart before the horse, and remain so now. I only now thought about storage considerations. It's too late to get an answer from the supplier about how the nuts are packaged when shipped, but I will ask Monday. If as I fear, they just come in a big paper or cloth bag, I doubt that they should remain in it, and that raises the question of what to use? I thought about buying a 5 gal plastic bucket and lid from The Home Depot or Lowes, but that seems a bit of an overkill, since I don't believe that they will require that much space. Where to locate them is also something I'm unsure of?

I know that mice loves peanut butter, so I would imagine that the same would be true for peanuts. I've never seen a mouse since I've lived in this complex, but I remember once when mentioning strange noises coming from the attic, the apt. manager blamed mice (I think that it might be ghosts). In any case, I see no point in placing temptation in their way, as I don't want to attract the mice or peanut loving spooks. Would they be okay at room temperature, or do they need a special environment?

apparently you can make peanut butter in a food blender, this would be ideal as it has many applications .

How to Make Crunchy Peanut Butter: 9 steps (with pictures)

I can just picture it in my mind. A blender that has peanut butter all in the blades and on the sides of the container. I would sure hate to clean that.

 

[boohbah]

you could lick it clean, unplug it first

 

[seekermeister]

A lot of soaking.

Let the mice have at it.
