Blender Peanut Butter

1 cup roasted shelled peanuts
1 1/2 teaspoons peanut oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (omit salt if salted peanuts are used)

Place ingredients in blender. With the lid secured, blend until mixture becomes paste-like or spreadable (3 to 4 minutes). If necessary, stop the machine and use a rubber spatula to scrape mixture from the sides of the container back into contact with the blade. Continue blending until desired consistency is reached.

For crunchy peanut butter, stir in 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts after the blending is completed.

Store in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator. Oil may rise to the top. If this occurs, stir before using.

Yields 1/2 cup creamy or 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
