"The best peanut butter--three ingredients; nothing could be easier. I have been making this peanut butter ever since food processors came out. When I used to take care of my grandkids they would eat it here, but now that they are older and not here, Mimi makes home deliveries. I have listed the ingredients in approximate proportions. I never measure, but go by the looks of it. You can use any brand of peanuts but I use Planters Cocktail Peanuts in a can. When I make this, I drizzle a little oil until it is the right texture and then add the honey. The honey hardens it so then I add a tad more oil, a little at a time. If you continually make this, you will see. I also hardens some as it sits in the refrigerator. NOTE: If you like it sweeter, add more honey, but the more honey you use, a little more oil will be needed. Watch and taste."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Put the peanuts in the food processor and grind till they are fine and start to back down into the bowl.

Step 2

Add the oil and process again till very well blended; it will be quite soft at this point.

Step 3

Lift the cover and add the honey; process after you add this as it will tighten up and become a little more solid; it is now that you might want to add a tad more oil to get it to the consistency you like (you want it a little soft because it gets harder in the refrigerator).

Step 4

Put into a containeer and refrigerate.
