Hey there, fellow peanut butter enthusiasts! If you’re anything like me, peanut butter is a pantry staple that disappears faster than you can imagine. Those empty jars, stacked in my kitchen, were just waiting for a purpose. And now, I’ve discovered the perfect use for them: homemade peanut butter!
Believe me when I say that once you experience the joy of crafting your own peanut butter, there’s no turning back. The simplicity is astounding, requiring just one ingredient: peanuts.
And to make it even better for the planet, I highly recommend purchasing your peanuts in bulk from a local grocery store that supports low-waste initiatives. Don’t forget to bring your reusable bag or jar along for the eco-friendly journey!
Get ready to savor the rich, creamy goodness of homemade peanut butter and bid farewell to store-bought versions.

- Put all of them in the food processor and add salt if desired.
