Ingredients
2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
½ teaspoon table salt
Directions
Add the dry-roasted peanuts, honey, oil, and salt to a food processor. Pulse and process the mixture for about 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl every minute or so. The mixture will initially form small clumps as the peanut oils release, but will gradually become creamier and thinner until it reaches a smooth, peanut butter consistency.
Transfer the finished peanut butter to a 1-cup jar or storage container. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving. The peanut butter can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 months; stir well to recombine any separated oil before each use.
Comments
Peanuts, honey, oil, and salt are all pantry staples available at every Charlotte chain without a special trip, and North Carolina is a major peanut producer so local supply is steady year-round. At roughly $1.50–$2.00 per serving depending on peanut quality and honey grade, this beats most store-bought peanut butters and costs less than specialty brands. The stated 35 minutes is honest for blending whole peanuts into butter, though home cooks should expect five minutes of loud food processor work followed by occasional scraping—not a hands-on afternoon, but not passive either. The result keeps indefinitely in the pantry, reheats (or rather, never spoils), and a family can spread it across a week of breakfasts and snacks.
