Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Homemade Peanut Butter is a simple and satisfying thing to make. You control the type of peanuts, the amount of whole & whether or not you add salt...and the whole thing takes less than 20 minutes!
Pure ingredients = Good. Hydrogenated oils = Bad. But even if your palate has been trained to love margarine-smooth processed peanut butter, there’s still hope. It is unbelievably easy to make your own peanut butter at home – even the smooth stuff.
Blend up some fresh peanuts into a fresh, healthy spread with your own favorite flavorings. Vanilla, Chocolate, Honey, Cinnamon, Red Pepper...endless possibilities when you make it up fresh. Makes a wonderful gift that most will love!
If you’ve been to a Thai restaurant this shouldn’t be a huge shock. Peanut sauce is common in those eatateriums. I just turned what is usually a sauce into a butter, ready to spread on bread or use on chicken.
Life changing. Religious experience. Epiphany. Moment of clarity. What happened in my kitchen last night didn’t rise to the level of any of those, though it was pretty awesome.
