Recipe
Peanut – 1 cup
Sea salt or pink salt – 1/4 teaspoon
Peanut oil – 2 tablespoon, optional
Method
1. Dry roast the peanut on low medium heat till peanut becomes crisp and slightly change it’s colour. Don’t make too brown. And peanut should be roasted well to preserve for a long time.
2. Or microwave on high power for 2 minutes. After one minute stir and press the start button.
3. Take out the peanut and stir well. Microwave again for 1-2 minutes. Every oven takes different time. I had to microwave for 4 minutes. Check and stir after every 1 minute. Don’t make too brown. Check out the video recipe above .After roasting well you can peel the peanut easily.
4. Let the peanut cool down. Take out all the peanut on a kitchen napkin or any cotton cloth. Wrap and rub with your palm to remove the skin of peanut. Separate the peanut and peel.
5. Grind the peanut. Scrap the sides with a spoon or knife and grind again.
6. Now peanut will release oil. You can use it as a spread if you don’t want to use oil.
7. Add 2 tablespoon peanut oil in the grinder jar. If you want your peanut butter slightly sweet add 1 tablespoon honey at this stage. I didn’t. If you are using honey add only 1 tablespoon oil instead of 2 tablespoon. You can also add cocoa powder or chocolate chips or any herbs of your choice. Grind again to make smooth creamy butter.
8. Store the peanut butter in covered container in refrigerator for later use.
Notes
1. Roast the peanut properly for longer shelf life. You can store your homemade peanut butter in refrigerator for a month.
