Notes
Run your food processor longer if it's not quite creamy enough at the five minute mark. You can aim for 30 second increments to scrape down the sides frequently.
During processing, you’ll notice stages. The peanuts will go from mere crumbs, to a bit of a lumpy ball, and then finally smooth and creamy.
Don’t add additional salt and honey until taste testing - you might not need it.
Store homemade peanut butter in a cool dark place (like your pantry) for up to a month.
Homemade peanut butter can also be safely refrigerated for up to three months.
