Quiver0f10 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I use dry roasted peanuts that I buy in bulk from my co-op. I add a pinch of salt, peanut oil and honey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheryl Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) When I'm in the mood I make our own peanut and almond butter. Almond is highly nutritious. The problem with roasted is that the "heat" has killed alot of the nutrients. Raw is best. HOWEVER, I've tried both and raw is VERY difficult to grind. It really does need a little oil where the roasted does not need that addition. I can't remember b/c it's been awhile, but the Virginia boiled or something with a "b" from Trader Joe's. Next, maybe cashew butter. Have you tried chocolate peanut butter? I'd also like to try that. Edited October 26, 2011 by sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I just use plain old raw Virginia peanuts. Sometimes I add a pinch of salt (literally a "pinch") and sometimes I don't. Toss them into the food processor and let 'em rip until they make peanut butter. The peanuts get warm enough in the processor to release enough oil to work - some other nuts require a tablespoon of good oil to get things going on.
