I am never without peanut butter; variations depending whether starting with salted or red skin peanuts, or smooth or crunchy

Ingredients

800g salted peanuts OR red skin peanuts
1 dessert spoon of vegetable oil or similar only really required ifusing red skin peanuts.
(Optional) Flavourings, ie chilli, spices

Instructions

If using salted peanuts, wash out the salt by running tap water through the nuts in a colandar
Place the nuts in a microwaveable bowl for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. This drys the salted nuts, and adds flavours to red skin nuts.
Allow the peanuts to cool before placing in the food processor,
If making crunchy peanut butter, grind in a food processor until just large crumbs, scoop out a 200g and set aside.
If using red skin peanuts, add the oil. Add any flavourings then grind again, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary, until you have something spreadable.
Stir in the reserved nuts, if crunchy, and spoon into a jar.
