Sweet And Spiced Peanut Butter; Vegetable Cream Cheese - Cuisinart FP-11 Series Instruction And Recipe Booklet

SWEET AND SPICED PEANUT BUTTER

Once you see how simple it is to make your own peanut butter at home, you
will wonder why you ever purchased it. Here we give a sweeter version, but
you can adjust the sugar and spices to whatever you wish, or just leave it
plain with a bit of salt. Process fully for a creamy version, or if a chunky style is
preferred, add additional peanuts after processing and pulse to combine.
