Munchie Monday: Food Processor Peanut Butter

 When you get your mind set on something, it is hard to let it go sometimes!  I ordered a 48-ounce container for our VitaMix when they were on a big sale a little over a week ago. I was thrilled when it arrived three days later.  I was NOT thrilled that it was the wrong container for our VitaMix.  So, while trying to figure out how to return this one and receive the correct one, I decided to make peanut butter in the food processor.  Not willing to wait patiently for the new container before making peanut butter...

It was pretty easy.  When we had our Zoom Meeting Relief Society today we discussed Elder Jaggy's talk on patience at the most recent General Conference of the Church.  I should have brought up that sometimes our food projects take a fair amount of patience!

To make this peanut butter (which is very yummy, by the way!), place 2 cups of peanuts in the bowl of your food processor with the S-blade.  Pulse 4 or 5 times then pull out a small quantity of them so you can have chunky peanut butter.

Here are the chopped peanuts waiting to added into the peanut butter.

To go on with the "recipe", turn the food processor on again and process for 1 minute.  Open it up and scrape down the sides and process again for another minute and repeat the scraping.  Repeat one more time.  You will need to process AT LEAST three minutes, scraping down each minute.  My patience ran thin so I stopped there!

In the end you will have a nice tasty creamy peanut butter ready to accept the chopped peanuts. I saved the chopped peanuts Dear One can enjoy his favorite peanut butter which is chunky.
