2. This recipe calls for a bit of oil in it. The oil is there to make this peanut butter creamy for spreading especially. Otherwise you peanut butter would most likely be course and kinda hard to work with. Feel free to omit or add additional oil as desired.
3. Roasting your peanut before adding them to this recipe will give your peanut butter a richer flavor. Simply line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roast the peanuts for eight to 12 minutes at 325 degrees until brown. You can also buy roasted peanuts to use in this recipe however, watch out for the added salt.

My mother use to always refrigerate peanut butter and it would drive me crazy.
However, because this peanut butter does not have any preservatives in it, you are better off refrigerating it in a sealed container or sealed jar. To use it simply allow it to sit on your counter top for a few minutes to get more spreadable if needed.
