HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER

Alton Brown's Homemade Peanut Butter recipe, made with roasted nuts, is an all-natural alternative to the store-bought kind, from Good Eats on Food Network.

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 5m

Yield approximately 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

15 ounces shelled and skinned AB's Roasted Peanuts, recipe follows
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 pounds in-shell raw peanuts (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 to 2 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the peanuts, salt and honey into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the lid back on and continue to process while slowly drizzling in the oil and process until the mixture is smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Rinse the peanuts under cool water to remove excess dirt. Pat dry and place in a large bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt until well coated.
  • Place on 2 half sheet pans, making sure to spread them out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Once you remove the peanuts from the oven, let them cool slightly before eating. They will continue to "cook" and become crunchy as they cool.
  • If using peanuts to make peanut butter, remove shells and discard. Remove the skin by rubbing the peanuts together in your hands held over a salad spinner, allowing the peanuts and skins to fall into the bowl. Once the skin has been loosened from all of the peanuts close the salad spinner and spin until all of the skin has been separated from the peanuts.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanuts: The quality of your peanuts will greatly impact the taste of your peanut butter. Look for peanuts that are fresh, unsalted, and free of blemishes.
  • Roast your peanuts: Roasting your peanuts will deepen their flavor and make them more aromatic. You can roast peanuts in the oven, on the stovetop, or in a toaster oven.
  • Remove the skins: Removing the skins from your peanuts will make your peanut butter smoother and creamier. You can remove the skins by hand or by using a food processor.
  • Use a powerful blender or food processor: You'll need a powerful blender or food processor to grind your peanuts into a smooth and creamy butter. If you don't have a powerful blender or food processor, you can also use a mortar and pestle, but it will take longer.
  • Be patient: Making peanut butter takes time. Don't try to rush the process. It can take up to 15 minutes to get your peanut butter to the desired consistency.
  • Add flavorings: Once you've made your basic peanut butter, you can add flavorings to taste. Some popular flavorings include salt, honey, maple syrup, chocolate chips, and cinnamon.

Conclusion:

Making your own peanut butter is a fun and easy way to enjoy this delicious and nutritious food. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make peanut butter that is just as good as, if not better than, store-bought brands. So next time you're in the mood for peanut butter, give this recipe a try!
