Roasting the Peanuts: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the peanuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10-15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Roasting enhances the flavor of the peanuts and contributes to a creamier texture.
Cooling and Removing Skins: Allow the roasted peanuts to cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, rub them between your hands or place them in a clean kitchen towel. This will help remove most of the skins. Don’t worry if there are some skin remnants left; they contribute to a rustic texture.
Blending: Transfer the roasted and peeled peanuts to a food processor. Add salt and begin blending. Initially, the peanuts will turn into a coarse powder. Scrape down the sides as needed. Continue blending until the mixture transforms into a smooth and creamy consistency.
Optional Additions: At this point, you can add honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your taste preference. Additionally, incorporating a tablespoon or two of peanut oil will result in an even silkier texture.
Final Blend: Blend the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is well incorporated. Taste the peanut butter and adjust the salt or sweetness if necessary.
Storage: Transfer your homemade peanut butter to a clean and airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few weeks. Remember that natural peanut butter might separate over time, so give it a stir before using.
