I decided to start making my own peanut butter when I read the ingredient list on a peanut butter jar label. While peanuts are good for you, the unhealthy additives and hydrogenated oils are not. This is all natural with no preservatives and has a much better flavor than store-bought peanut butter. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Pour mixture into a container, cover and let cool in the refrigerator. Keep refrigerated. Serve on warm bread, toast, oatmeal, pancakes....my imagination is running wild!
