peanut butter

I made peanut butter today.

How difficult could it be? The natural stuff you buy in a jar is just peanuts, right?

I looked up how to make it online. It sounded as simple as I thought.

Start with peanuts, I chose roasted.


Then I shelled them and put them in my food processor.

I turned it on and let the peanuts and machine work their magic.

Ta da! Peanut butter!
Now, was it worth the hour it took me to shell the peanuts verses the cost of a jar of natural peanut butter? Probably not. But I was watching the Olympics, so it's not like I should have been doing something else...

I'm going to keep trying this with different types of peanuts. I'll try to remember to let you know how each batch turns out!
