Homemade Honey Peanut Butter image

I decided to start making my own peanut butter when I read the ingredient list on a peanut butter jar label. While peanuts are good for you, the unhealthy additives and hydrogenated oils are not. This is all natural with no preservatives and has a much better flavor than store-bought peanut butter. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

  • Use fresh, high-quality honey. This will ensure that the honey butter has a delicious flavor.
  • Soften the butter before mixing it with the honey. This will make it easier to blend the two ingredients together until smooth.
  • If you want a sweeter honey butter, add more honey. If you want a more tart honey butter, add more lemon juice.
  • Honey butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When ready to use, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
