Ingredients

3 cups (440 g) unsalted roasted peanuts

1. Pour nuts into the Vitamix container and secure lid. 2. Select Variable 1. 3. Turn machine on and quickly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High, using the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades. 4. In 1 minute you will hear a high pitched chugging sound. Once the butter begins to flow freely through the blades the motor sound will change from a high pitch to a low laboring sound. Stop machine. 5. Store in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for longer storage.

CAUTION:

Over processing will cause serious overheating to your machine! Do not process for more than 1 minute after mixture starts circulating freely.

Variation: Cashew Butter

Substitute dry roasted cashews. If using dry roasted nuts, you may need to add oil. Begin with 3 tablespoons and add more if necessary.

Variation: Almond Butter

Substitute raw or dry roasted whole almonds. Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of light-flavored oil during the blending process. Refrigerate and pour off excess oil the next day.
