Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Place 2 cups of unsalted roasted peanuts in a food processor. Ensure the peanuts are evenly distributed inside the processor for uniform processing.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Sprinkle in 0.25 teaspoons of salt. This will enhance the nutty flavor of the peanuts.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of water gradually. This addition helps in moderating the consistency, ensuring it's spreadable and not overly thick.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Taste the peanut butter and adjust sweetness or salt to your preference.
Step 8
Transfer the peanut butter into an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
Step 9
Stir the peanut butter before each use, as it may slightly separate over time.
