I’m a little on the impatient side, so I didn’t wait. You can let your peanuts cool before you do this step. If you are toying with the idea of making crunchy peanut butter, you’ll need to set a couple of handfuls of nuts to the side at this point. You will know they are done when they start to have a nutty aroma about them, and they turn darker.Īfter they are roasted, remove the nuts from the oven. I was satisfied with where they were at the 30-minute mark. Most articles say to roast them for 20 minutes. You will roast the nuts for 20 to 30 minutes. Once the nuts have been shelled, place them on a baking sheet. If you purchased your peanuts raw or if you grew your own, then they will have to roast. It truly would be a tedious task to take on, and the peanut butter turns out just fine if they are left as is. I was a little unsure of myself about that during this process, but after I was finished, I was so glad I did not waste my time on that tiny detail. One thing I should point out at this point is the skins that you’ll see on the shelled nuts. Much to my surprise, I didn’t even make it a quarter of a way into the movie, and I was done.

I turned on the movie because I thought I’d be there for a while.
I’ll be honest, I pulled a stool up to my kitchen counter and turned on a movie. I only used 5 of my 10 pounds of peanuts for this batch that I made. They are easy to pull out but just try to pay attention as you go. It will submit and open.īe sure not to get any of the shells in the bowl with the peanuts. If you have a stubborn peanut, press it on a hard surface with the palm of your hand. This causes it to divide itself in half and open perfectly.
You use your thumb and index finger and apply pressure on the crease in the peanut.

To open the shell of the peanut, you need to find the seam in the peanut and crack it. You have to remove the shells of the peanuts. This is the longest part of making homemade peanut butter. Regardless of where you get your peanuts from, as long as they are whole nuts (in or out of the shell) you can use them to make this wonderful, tasty treat. It will save you a couple of steps in the process. If you wish to skip the next step, if you are fortunate to find bags of peanuts already roasted (and they don’t cost a small fortune) go ahead and get them. Fortunately I was able to buy a 10-pound bag of raw peanuts at less than $1/ pound. I am planning on growing my own peanuts in the near future but for now, I had to make a trip to the grocery store. You can grow peanuts, or you can purchase them in bulk from most local grocery stores. I say ‘come up with’ because I’m not so particular as to how I get my hands on peanuts.
