Why is peanut butter made from peanuts?

Answer 1

* 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil * roasted, unsalted peanuts (shelled or unshelled) * pinch of salt =Select the Peanuts= Start with roasted, unsalted peanuts. You can buy them shelled or unshelled. If you buy unshelled peanuts, enlist family members to help shell them faster. You can take off the red skins of the peanuts, or you can leave them on. If you leave them on, you'll see little red flecks in the final product, which some people like in homemade peanut butter. One cup of peanuts will give you about 1/2 cup of peanut butter. =Combine the Ingredients= Pour 1 tablespoon of peanut or vegetable oil into a food processor. Now, pour in the peanuts. Add a pinch of salt. You can always add more salt later. Put on the lid and start the food processor. It will take around 2 to 3 minutes to chop and blend the peanuts. If the peanuts seem stuck, stop the machine to scrape the sides of the bowl. Then start mixing again. If you need to help it along, add a little more oil. Remember the oil will make the peanut butter thinner. =Serve or Store the Peanut Butter= After 2 to 3 minutes, stop the food processor and get a close look at texture of the peanut butter. Once it is as smooth as you like it, pour the peanut butter into a serving dish or storage container. For crunchy peanut butter, chop some additional peanuts. Pour them into the bowl, and stir them into the peanut butter. Spread the peanut butter on your favorite bread for a delicious snack at any time of the day.

Step 1: Roast the Peanuts

• If you purchase roasted peanuts, you can skip this step. If you'd like the ultimate in homemade peanut butter, it's actually quite easy to roast peanuts yourself.

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Remove the peanuts from their shells.
3. Spread the peanuts across a baking pan. The peanuts can be close to one another but make sure they are not piled on top of each other.
4. Bake the peanuts for 15 to 18 minutes.
5. Remove promptly from the oven and allow to cool.

• You can also cook the peanuts in their shells. Simply follow the same procedure but bake them for longer. Shelled peanuts require about 25 to 28 minutes in the oven to be fully roasted.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter

• Now that you have fully roasted peanuts, you are ready to make your homemade peanut butter.

1. Put half your roasted peanuts into the food processor or blender.
2. Add half the peanut oil.
3. Grind the peanuts for two to four minutes. The mixture will appear clumpy.
4. Pour the remaining peanuts and peanut oil into the food processor or blender.
5. Continue chopping the nuts until you achieve the consistency you desire. Creamy peanut butter will require more blending time.
6. Add the salt and mix for another minute.

Step 3: Enjoy Your Peanut Butter!

Your homemade peanut butter lacks the preservatives in store-bought peanut butter does, so it won't last as long. Make sure to enjoy this all-natural, preservative-free food while it's still fresh!

1. Refrigerate the peanut butter as soon as you have finished preparing it. It will last for about two weeks.PreparedPantry.comcom: Choosing the Right Peanut Butter
2. The oil in the peanut butter may rise to the top when it is stored. Simply stir it to redistribute the oil throughout the entire concoction.
3. Make peanut butter your new staple with bread rather than butter. Peanut butter is a healthier choice as it is a significant source of protein, fiber and monounsaturated fat.Peanut-Butter.org: Health Benefits of Peanut Butter
4. Eat your homemade peanut butter with fruits and vegetables. Spread on apple slices, banana chunks or celery sticks.
5. Use homemade peanut butter to make peanut butter cookies. The cookies will taste much fresher than when you use manufactured peanut butter.

Variations

• The beauty of homemade peanut butter is that you can custom-make it to your exact specifications. There are a variety of different things you can try to achieve your ideal peanut butter.

1. For very crunchy peanut butter, add one cup of chopped peanuts after you have finished.

The Gardener's Network: Homemade Peanut Butter Recipe Use a mixing spoon to evenly distribute these additional nuts.

1. Try using honey instead of peanut oil. This will add a sweeter flavor to the peanut butter.Food Network: Homemade Peanut Butter
2. Mix almonds or macadamia nuts into the mixture for more varied, nutty flavors.
3. For a delicious treat, add one cup of Chocolate Chips to the recipe. The result will be the tasty combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
4. If you are sensitive to sodium or have high blood pressure,MayoClinic: Sodium: Are you getting too much? do not add salt to the recipe. The peanuts have enough natural flavor that the salt is not necessary.

It is made by crushing peanuts into a fine paste or 'butter'

Take roasted peanuts that have had their shells and skins removed and put them in a blender. Pulse the blender until the peanuts come to a smooth consistency. If you like chunky peanut butter, it is best to add chopped peanuts to the resulting product than to try to stop when the chunks are the right size.
