The peanuts or other nuts are best soaked overnight to aid in digestion and to remove toxins, so this step is essential. After which, they have to be dehydrated over low heat in an oven or dehydrator till very dry, as moisture will make the entire batch of nut butter rancid.
After dehydrating, you can choose to process them in the food processor or roast them further. For this batch, I roasted them at 170C with a little ghee for aroma, till the peanuts become golden, then I let them cool before putting them in the food processor.
While processing, I added a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of organic sugar into the food processor. It took a long time before the peanuts started to turn creamy and release their oils. Then a final taste check and into the bottle it goes! Tastes really good and way better than store bought! So happy...:-)
