Smooth Peanut Butter
A recipe for a smooth Peanut or an 'Any' nut butter.
Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 12 oz Roasted Peanuts
- 2 oz Roasted Pecans You can use all peanuts but this will create a different depth of flavor.
- 2 tsp Kosher Salt Use more or less to your liking.
- 1 tsp Peanut Oil You may need more based on the oil content of your nuts.
- 3 tbsp Honey Use more or less to your liking.
- 1/2 tsp Guar Gum Optional
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients before you start.
- Place all dry ingredients in a Food Processor
- Process for 1 minute, let rest for 1 minute. We are using this to process / rest interval to control how we raise the temperature.
- Process for 1 minute as you drizzle in the oil and honey mix, then rest for 1 minute.
- Sample flavor and adjust salt and honey to taste.
- Continue to process for 1 minute / rest 1 minute 8-10 more times.
- The temperature should slowly come up to 120-130 Fahrenheit.
- At this point, you should have a major consistency change as the fats liquify. If not, continue to pulse/rest a few more times until you see it seperate.
- Add oil to adjust the consistency to liking.
- Place in jar and set in fridge to firm up. It may take up to 12 hours to fully solidify.
