BASICS
PEANUT BUTTER
You’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to make your own nut butter; be
sure to use unsalted nuts so you can control the amount of seasoning
in the fi nal product.
Makes about 1 cup
1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the
food processor. Pulse peanuts about 10 times and then
process on Low until drops of oil are visible and the
mixture is very smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes, depend-
ing on desired consistency. (You may need to stop to
scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically.)
2. Add salt and pulse 2 to 3 times to incorporate. Adjust
seasoning as desired.
TIP: This method can be done with any of your favorite
nuts; try adding sweet or savory spices to the spread for
more complex fl avor.
