DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
2. Spread peanut in a single layer on a baking try and roast for 12 minutes.
3. Wrap the peanuts in a kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove the skin. Let cool completely.
4. Place the peanuts into the blender or to a large food processor, add salt and blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary.
5. At the beginning it seems like it’s not blending well, but you have to be patient. First it will be crumbly, then it will form a paste, then it will be smooth and creamy. All the process takes about 5-15 minutes (depending on your blender/food processor).
6. Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container or to a mason jar and store in the refrigerator.
