Thanks, Juliana! And yes… homemade peanut butter really is ridiculously easy to make! 🙂 Hope your hubby loves it. Have a lovely weekend!
Good thing I just ordered a food processor I can try this out!!
Oh you will LOVE your new food processor, Rosemary! There are so many fun things you can make in it… some of my favorites are peanut butter, hummus, pesto, and homemade pie crust. 🙂
It’s been ages since I’ve made my own peanut butter, and now you have me wanting to again. Fun post — thanks.
Thanks, John… I just love how easy it is to make yourself! 🙂
How do you come up with this stuff, Heidi! I would never even think to make my own peanut butter but I am going to try it now. It’s such an easy way to make sure you’re only getting the good stuff and not a lot of chemicals. I don’t know why I thought it was so complicated! So excited now, thank you! Hugs, CoCo
Aww… thanks, CoCo ~ you’re so sweet! I couldn’t believe how simple it was to make it when I first did, too! And I completely agree with you… it can be scary reading food labels – I love knowing what ingredients I’m actually eating. 🙂 Hope you have a lovely week!
I am not a big fan of peanut butter but I think I would like your homemade one. I will try making it. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re very welcome, Gerlinde… I hope you love it. It is SO much tastier than the ones you’ll find at the store. 🙂
I seriously had no idea it was that easy to make homemade peanut butter. We frequently have jars of dry roasted peanuts in the house.. I’ll keep this recipe for just in case! It looks wonderful and so creamy. i also like the idea that there are no additives. Thanks
You’re very welcome, Judee… and I agree, it’s so nice knowing exactly what ingredients go into your food! 🙂
I wish I would have seen this before my husband went to the grocery store! 😀 I had no idea how easy it would be. Saving this so I can make some instead of buying. It’s expensive!!
Hi Michelle… you will love it, and won’t believe how quick & easy it is to make!
This peanut butter looks way better than store bought!
Oh it definitely is… so dreamy and creamy! 🙂
Your PB is soooo smooth and creamy, Heidi! I love the honey added to it, too. I bet this is so delicious on toast with a bit of jam! Yum!
Thanks, Katherine! The honey adds the perfect kiss of sweet, and you’re right… it’s SO amazing on toast with jam! 🙂
I love how simple this is – and homemade is always best. What a great gift this would make also!
Thanks, Alexandra… it really is unbelievably easy to make, and you’re right – it would make such a sweet little gift! 🙂
