VALENCIA PEANUT AND FLAX SEED BUTTER
A Trader Joes' copycat recipe. Their version is unsweetened. You can add some sugar if you wish. The ratio of peanuts to flax seeds is about 75/25 but that is a wild guess. Being a copycat recipe all ingredients are estimated. Conveniently and luckily, I can find organic peanuts and flax seeds (from Bob's Red Mill) in bulk at our local natural food store.

Steps:
- Roast the peanuts either on the stove top or in the oven until golden brown, adding the flax seeds the last 6-8 minutes of roasting. Be *very careful* not to burn the peanuts or flax seeds! Stir often! I would recommend stove top roasting with this step (a cast iron skillet being ideal). After roasting, set aside to cool slightly.
- Place the peanuts and flax seeds in a food processor or blender and blend to desired consistency adding a little bit of oil to help blend the butter smoothly. Season with salt, to taste. Optional: Add sugar if desired, to desired sweetness.
- Transfer the mixture to a container and cover (I use a recycled canning jar). We keep the nut/seed mixture refrigerated.
- Stir the nut/seed butter each time before spreading to distribute the oils.

Steps:
- If the almonds have skins, they will need to be blanched and peeled: Place them in a small saucepan and cover them with water; bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer for two minutes.
- Drain the almondsin a colander and rinse them under cold water. Pop off the skins by pinching the base of each almond between your thumb and forefinger.
- Pat the almonds dry. (These steps are unnessary if you are using skinless almonds).
- Grind the almonds into a meal in a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
- Add the oil one tablespoon at a time and process until creamy.
