HM Peanut Butter Help Please

Sarahsaver

Made some today after fancying some and having a 'try not to spend at all' week. followed a recipe. 225g peanuts, 2tbsp oil, pinch of salt, bung it all in the food processor. Tastes nice and only cost me about 30p to make but it is a bit dry. Didn't want to add too much extra oil as it could have gone wrong the other way and been too runny.
Anyone else made it successfully?

Hiya, Sarahsaver. I remembered an older thread about this so I'll merge your post with it to keep all the answers together.

Also, try looking at this thread too.

Hi Sarahsaver

I used to work in a health shop where we sold fresh peanut butter we made in a grinding machine. It was just roast peanuts with nothing else added,they weren't salted or anything. It was lovely I didn't like peanut butter before I had tried it.

I was wondering about making my own peanut butter. Does anyone have any advice to offer?

Hiya

There isn't much that hasn't already been covered here on OS and, a quick search shows, we have an earlier thread - so I've added your post onto it.

You might like to take a peek at this link too:-

I watched a program on TV today about making peanut butter commercially, they add salt and sugar plus some kind of oil to stabilise the peanut oil but it's basically just peanuts crushed up....

In spite of what you may think, I DID try and do a forum search before posting!

Right

If your search failed - then the link I posted should help you get better results from it.

Granted that the search facility on MSE is not the best in the world (and we Board Guides regularly moan about it) - it still only took me a whole five seconds to find this thread following the advice I learned from that link.

Edit:- one reason why your search may have failed is that the last forum software update set the default "look back time" to just one month - and many of our threads are considerably older than that.

When in "Advanced search" take a look at the "Search options" and set yours to look like these in the image from the link I gave you:-




"Find posts from" should be set to "Any date".

"Show results as" can be left as threads.

"Seaarch by keywords" can be left as "Titles only" unless a search doesn't pick up the post that you're sure is here "somewhere".

Then click on the "Save preferences" button.

Weird

DH and I commented today about someone who had made HM peanut butter. Would have been made in rural Africa, so wonder what they would have used to blend the peanuts all up - considering the lack of electricity.

Probably a crusher of sorts :rotfl:

BTW our jar is empty :mad:
