Really quick post today. I just made my first peanut butter! I bought organic peanuts from my favorite natural food co-op Mississippi Market last week for the purpose of testing my Vita-Mix with making my own peanut butter.
It was so easy, took 1 minute and tastes so much better than the store bought peanut butter. Oh and it was a lot cheaper than buying the jars of organic peanut butter. (even organic peanut butter has more than just peanuts) I put the creamy peanut butter in a Mason Jar and will keep it in the fridge.
The ingredients in Jif peanut butter:
Roasted peanuts
sugar
molasses
rapeseed and soybean oils - mono and diglycerides
salt
The clean-up was simple. I put 2 cups of hot water with a drop of dish soap in the container, ran this for 2 minutes and rinsed. :)
Note about making peanut butter in your Vita-Mix:
Over-processing will cause serious over-heating to your machine. Do not process for more than 1 minute after mixture starts circulating.
Next I'm going to make cashew butter - yum. I'll get a video for that one to show how easy it is from start to clean-up.
