"OLD FASHIONED" PEANUT BUTTER 
Homemade peanut butter is easily made with an electric blender or a food 
processor. The longer you blend or process, the softer the peanut butter 
will be. Storage: Store in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator. Oil 
may rise to the top, if this occurs, stir before using. 
 
Direction for Using an Electric Blender 
1 cup roasted shelled peanuts (with or without red skins)* 
1 1/2 teaspoons peanut oil 
1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if salted peanuts are used) 
 
Place ingredients in blender. With the lid secured, blend until mixture 
becomes paste-like or spreadable (3 to 4 minutes). If necessary, stop the 
machine and use a rubber spatula to scrape mixture from the sides of the 
container and back into contact with the blades. Continue blending until 
desired consistency is reached. 
Note: For crunchy style peanut butter stir in 1/4 cup chopped roasted 
peanuts after the blending is completed. 
 
Yields 1/2 cup smooth or 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter. 
 
Directions for Using a Food Processor: 
2 cups roasted shelled peanuts* (with or without red skins) 
1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if salted peanuts are used) 
Using the metal blade, process ingredients continuously for 1 to 3 minutes. 
The ground peanuts will form a ball which will slowly disappear. 
Continue to process until the desired consistency is obtained. If necessary, 
stop machine and scrape sides of container with a rubber spatula. 
 
Note: For crunchy style peanut butter stir in 1/2 cup chopped roasted 
peanuts after the processing is completed. 
 
Yields 1 cup smooth or 1 1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter. 
 
*Peanuts with red skins may be used. (Do not confuse skins with outer 
shells!)
