Not sure if i have posted this before but a refresh is always OK.
I do my best to buy Aussie made/grown products and it always annoys me when i see 'made from local and imported ingredients' on the side of a product. I prefer Kraft peanut butter and it is labeled as above so i extracted the digit and have gone back to making my own.
It is REALLY simple and i reckon tastes better than store stuff PLUS i know where my ingredients come from!!
Woolworths have Australian peanuts in a 750gm bag ...i buy the roasted salted ones.
So.....just grab your food processor ( a blender will do the job but i have food the food processor to be easier to do bigger quantities)...tip in half the peanuts and start on a lower speed and add a bit of Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and keep adding peanuts and oil until you get the texture you want. It will be a bit more lumping than normal smooth Peanut butter that is OK with me.
Anyway...that's it!! Done.:ebiggrin:
I only use Aussie Olive oil and buy Cobram Estate in the 3ltr tin and refill my smaller bottle. Coles have this for about $20. The Red Island one is pretty good also.
I add only about 1/2 teaspoon of extra salt to the mix and NO sugar.
I made some yesterday but added a bit too much oil so it is a bit sloppy but still fine. If you are not keen on Olive oil (i love it!!) maybe try some other style.
I have, sometimes, added a good dose of honey (Australian of course!) to the mix. You wood need to do this earlier to get the texture right.
REALLY EASY>>>REALLY GOOD>>>ALL AUSTRALIAN...
