How do you store homemade peanut butter?

Store your homemade peanut butter in an airtight container. We like using glass jars used for canning . Depending on how quickly you go through your peanut butter, storing it in the pantry is just fine. Otherwise, you can put it in the refrigerator. We typically vacuum seal ours right in the jar and store it in a cabinet.

What do you do if your peanut butter has oil that separates in the jar?

Just give it a good stir with a spoon. Alternately, if you have an immersion blender that fits inside of the jar, you can place that in the peanut butter, hold the jar, and pulse a few times to blend it back together and help the oil re-incorporate.

How do you make chunky peanut butter?

Reserve some peanuts on the side and chop them as finely as you'd like. Process the rest of the peanuts into creamy peanut butter, then stir in the chopped peanuts to combine.

Description

Making your own homemade peanut butter lets you control the ingredients & texture. This easy, money-saving recipe comes together in minutes!

Ingredients

Units Scale

16 ounces roasted unsalted peanuts
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon raw sugar

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Pour the peanuts into the jar of your blender (or the bowl of a food processor) along with salt and sugar.
Blend on high speed until it reaches your desired consistency, tamping as necessary. If you don't have a tamper (or you're using a food processor), stop the machine periodically and scrape down the sides of the container as needed.
Transfer to a container and let fully cool before sealing and storing.

Equipment

ball pint jars with lids and bands

Notes

It will take a few minutes to get the peanuts to blend to your desired consistency. A high-speed blender will make the fastest work of it, and a food processor will take longer. Expect the process to take at least 3-5 minutes total.

Feel free to scale this recipe up or down, and adjust the sweetener and salt to your personal preferences.

If you're using a food processor to make your peanut butter, the process will take a little longer. You'll need to give your machine a few breaks to keep the motor from overheating.
