Making Peanut butter

Drew Cutter said:

Has anybody tried making peanut butter ? What's your experience using a
food processor ?

It works great. I like to use salted and roasted Spanish peanuts, cuz I
like the texture from the skins. You might want to substitute all or
half blanched peanuts.

How do you measure the amount of peanuts to use ? I want to make enough
peanut butter to last two to three weeks , having peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches every day.

What's to measure?
I grind up a bag of peanuts (I think it's a pound) and use it until it's
gone -- maybe 2 weeks, maybe a year, depending on if I'm in the mood for
peanut butter. The stuff keeps almost forever.

Other nuts can be made into "butter" as well. Cashew is really, really
good. =)

They don't have to be roasted, raw will work also, in fact the "elderly
relative" prefers it when i don't roast the peanuts.

im tempted to make some from garlic roasted peanuts we can get, along
with 5 spices peanuts and another i cant recall the name of.

I got a big can of dry roasted peanuts given to me that i don't like to
eat straight from the can but have not yet turned into peanut butter.

Add a bit of oil if wanted for a 'creamier" peanut butter, canola or
peanut, first time i made peanut butter i put sesame oil in, wasn't bad.

We've actually made it using an old fashioned mortar and pestle. It
took a while but it was fun. I did find an easier way to get fresh
peanut butter though. Our local health food store has raw peanuts and
raw almonds in these big machines and you can bring in a container (or
buy them there) and have the machine grind you fresh peanut and almond
butter on the spot.
