DIY Peanut Butter

What are your guilty pleasures? Is it candy? Pizza? Ice cream? What is that one food that no matter what, you could find comfort with a bite or two or a whole can/jar? Well, mine is Natural Peanut Butter. The problem is, you will NOT find all natural peanut butter in our health food stores. If by chance you do find it its been on the shelf so long its near its expiration date and quite expensive. This would result in me having to either wait until I or friends I knew were traveling to the US to purchase a few jars or do without.

Now because I believe there is always another way, I was determined to get my natty pb. So what did I do? I decided to buy the 2lb bag of unsalted peanuts at Price mart and make it myself, how hard could it be right? And indeed it was quite simple. All that was required was a food processor and some sea salt and just like that you've got tasty and totally healthy peanut butter.

Ingredients:
2 cups unsalted peanuts (roasted)
salt to taste

Method:
Place peanuts on a baking sheet and toast in oven for 6 minutes making sure to stir peanuts to prevent burning.
Remove peanuts from the oven and let cool.
Place roasted peanuts in food processor, sprinkle salt and pulse until desired consistency is reached (I like mine crunchy)
Store peanut butter in air tight container in refrigerator up to 4 weeks.
