Homemade Peanut Butter

Continuing with my "homemade" series, where I cook things I would normally always buy at the store, I made homemade peanut butter. Three words for this recipe: simple, easy, delicious. I'm a big peanut butter lover, do so I just had to try out this recipe. And I highly recommend it. 
There are so many ways you can enjoy peanut butter :)




Ingredients
8 oz salted party peanuts or shelled and skinned roasted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon very fine salt (only if peanuts are not salted)
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 to 2 teaspoons peanut oil (extra virgin olive oil works fine if you don't have peanut oil)

Special Tools: food processor




Directions
1. Put the peanuts, honey, and salt into the bowl of the food processor. Process until mixture is fine peanut pieces.
The mixture before adding oil
2. Add oil through the opening at the top of the food processor or all at once. Place the lid back on and continue to process until the mixture is smooth--about 2-3 minutes. (more processing produces smoother peanut butter)
The final product

Storage: store peanut butter in an airtight container in the fridge

Thanks to The Redhead Riter for the recipe!
