Peanut butter is a fun and easy recipe to make!

Crack open the shells and remove the peanuts.

We place peanuts in plastic bags and use a clean stone from our garden to crush them.

If you want chunky peanut butter, put the peanuts in a food processor or grinder and run the chopped mixture through three or more times until the peanut butter is the consistency that you like.

For creamy style peanut butter, chop up the peanuts in a blender. Add about one to two tablespoons of oil in small amounts and regrind or blend the mixture until the peanut butter is the desired consistency. Add sugar or honey by the teaspoon until the taste is just right.

Store in refrigerator. Homemade peanut butter contains no preservatives or other

additives and has a wonderful fresh peanutty taste.
