Peanut Butter

The classic peanut-based spread.

Ingredient

• 1 lb. of raw pre-shelled peanuts.

Directions

1. Spread peanuts on a large baking sheet and roast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for ten to twelve minutes.
2. While the peanuts are still hot remove any skins from them. This is best done by wrapping a few handfuls at a time in a dish towel and rolling them against each other for several seconds.
3. Put all your roasted and skinned peanuts in a food processor, add salt if desired, and chop until you have reached your desired thickness of peanut butter (this may take a few minutes).
