I was surfing Pinterest the other day and came across a
recipe for peanut butter. Ingredients:
peanuts. That’s it! After I saw that posting I really wanted to
try making some for myself. I bought a
pound or so of blanched, unsalted peanuts.
Mistake. The peanut butter is
okay, but lacks flavor. I keep trying to
comfort myself by saying that it’s much better for me than what you buy in the
store. It’s definitely not terrible to
eat, but it really lacks flavor. I would
make peanut butter again, but next time with salted, roasted nuts.
After I had textural success with the peanut butter, I
wanted to try other types of nut butter.
Last night I made almond butter and it was SO good. It has much more flavor than the peanut
butter even though I didn’t buy the salted version. I’m having to make myself eat the peanut
butter at work so that I don’t end up wasting it. Once I’m done with the peanut
butter I may make almond butter exclusively. I bet walnut butter would be really creamy
since they’re a pretty soft nut, but I’m not very fond of walnuts. Or macadamia nuts either. I may just try it anyway to see how it turns
out. Plus, come on, making your own nut
butter is pretty neat.
