Homemade Peanut Butter

Have you been following the latest news on peanut butter recalls?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently found Salmonella Typhimurium in the peanut butter and peanut paste produced by the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) at its Blakely, Georgia processing plant. And what started as one recall for Little Debbie’s peanut butter crackers has now turned in to a list of peanut butter product recalls a mile enlarged, including Famous Amos cookies, Wegman’s ice cream, Clif bars, Wal-Mart bakery items, and a number of pet food products. go here for the updated list of peanut butter recalls.

At the rate that recall list keeps growing, it’s probably a good concept to toss any peanut butter products you have in

the cupboard.  But don’t nag, you don’t have to give up those PBJs just yet.  Just grab your blender or food processor and a handful of dry roasted peanuts (organic whether you got ‘em) and you can build your own homemade peanut butter in less moment that it takes to cut off the crusts.  Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

2 cups dry roasted organic peanuts
salt, vegetable oil optional

Add peanuts to blender and process for several minutes until smooth.  Add salt and/or vegetable oil to taste.

Yum!
