One-Ingredient No-Stir Peanut Butter

My family loves peanut butter.  One of the things we have switched in our quest to eat healthier real foods has been to natural peanut butter.  The main downside to the natural peanut butter you buy in jars is that it separates and then you have to stir it and refrigerate it.  My biggest complaint has been that once refrigerated it can be very hard to spread.  Also to get a good natural, organic peanut butter it was getting quite pricey for us because of how much we go through.  We decided to try to make our own and experimented with different techniques and ingredients.  We tried our meat grinder which eventually led us to the food processor.  One of the great things we learned was that we don't need to add any oil to make this delicious peanut butter.  But by far the best thing was that this peanut butter is creamy, spreadable, and doesn't have to be stirred!  I promise you won't want to buy peanut butter anymore, it's so simple.
