HOMEMADE ROASTED PEANUT BUTTER
This recipe makes a wonderful peanut butter that's better than anything in the store. It's all natural, and doesn't separate like some of the so-called natural peanut butters you can buy. I like chunky peanut butter, so I mix the batch until it is very smooth, then mix in peanuts that have been chopped separately.

HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER
Yes, peanut butter comes in jars. The megamart is home to rows of them. And yes, you could go your entire life and never even make it for yourself. But, if you're in possession of a food processor, there's no reason you can't make your own honey-roasted variety. And it'll taste better, too. You'll want to get every last ounce of peanut goodness from your batch of roasted nuts, so be sure to weigh them after they've been shelled. This recipe first appeared in Season 11 of Good Eats.

Steps:
- Place the peanuts, salt and honey into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the lid back on and continue to process while slowly drizzling in the oil and process until the mixture is smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rinse the peanuts under cool water to remove excess dirt. Pat dry and place in a large bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt until well coated.
- Place on 2 half sheet pans, making sure to spread them out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Once you remove the peanuts from the oven, let them cool slightly before eating. They will continue to "cook" and become crunchy as they cool.
- If using peanuts to make peanut butter, remove shells and discard. Remove the skin by rubbing the peanuts together in your hands held over a salad spinner, allowing the peanuts and skins to fall into the bowl. Once the skin has been loosened from all of the peanuts close the salad spinner and spin until all of the skin has been separated from the peanuts.

Tips:
- Choose the right peanuts: Use raw, unsalted peanuts for the best flavor and texture.
- Roast the peanuts properly: Roasting the peanuts brings out their natural oils and flavor. Make sure to roast them until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove the skins: Removing the skins from the peanuts makes for a smoother and creamier peanut butter. You can do this by rubbing the peanuts between your fingers or using a kitchen towel.
- Use a good blender or food processor: A high-powered blender or food processor will help you achieve a smooth and creamy peanut butter. Blend or process the peanuts until they reach your desired consistency.
- Add salt and sweetener to taste: Once the peanut butter is blended, you can add salt and sweetener to taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Store the peanut butter properly: Store the peanut butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
