I like glass for storage and it seems to me that a lot of plastic could be done away with if we used glass, which is the ultimate recycling material. I buy an expensive peanut butter in order to get one in a glass jar because I never thought of making it! Going to give this a go.

When I was 6 the school nurse prescribed peanut butter as they considered me to be under weight. I hated the stuff. Being told you have to eat something changes your thoughts! I love it now but it too high in calories do it's only an occasional treat.

I am having a bit of heating also. Maybe spend some of my Winter Fuel Allowance from the government, ha ha.

So now I don't wash the salt off, I put them in a tea towel and give it a shake to dislodge some of the salt. There is no need to add oil, if blended long enough the will break down to make smooth butter. If you like it crunchy stop the blender sooner. It's a matter of catching it at the right moment. If it is too dry whizz a few more seconds. I do sometimes add a tiny amount of toasted sesame seed oil, seems to add to the nutty flavour, but only a drizzle is needed.
