Alright, let’s talk about this honey roasted peanut butter, you know, the kind you smear on bread or maybe sneak a spoonful of when nobody’s lookin’. I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, but I know what tastes good, and this stuff? It’s the bee’s knees, let me tell ya.
First off, you gotta get yourself some peanuts. Not just any peanuts, mind you, but the good ones. The ones that look plump and smell… well, like peanuts, I guess. You gotta roast ’em, see? Like you’re warmin’ ’em up by the fire, but in your oven. That’s what them city folks call “baking”. Makes ’em all toasty and gets the oil outta them, so they turn all smooth and creamy when you grind ’em up. I hear some folks put ’em in at 350 degrees, but my oven? It’s got “low”, “medium” and “high”, so I just put it somewhere in the middle. Gotta watch it, though, don’t want ’em burnin’. Burnt peanuts ain’t no good to nobody.
Now, the honey part, that’s where the magic happens. You don’t want just any old honey, neither. You want the good stuff, the thick and golden kind. The kind that sticks to your spoon and tastes like sunshine. Mix it in with them roasted peanuts, not too much, not too little. You gotta get it just right, you know? Like when you’re makin’ biscuits, gotta have that feel for it. Some folks like it sweet, some like it not so sweet. It’s all up to you.
- Get good peanuts, them plump ones
- Roast them peanuts till they’re warm and toasty, don’t burn ‘em!
- Use good honey, thick and gold
- Mix it all together, not too much, not too little
I’ve heard tell of folks adding other stuff too. A pinch of salt, maybe. Or a little bit of oil, if it’s too thick. Some folks even put in extra sugar, but I reckon the honey’s sweet enough on its own. You can play around with it, see what you like. That’s the best part about makin’ your own, you get to be the boss of it.
Now, why would you go through all this trouble when you can just buy a jar at the store? Well, let me tell ya, that store-bought stuff? It’s got all sorts of things in it you can’t even pronounce. Preservatives, they call ’em. Sugar, lots and lots of sugar. And who knows what else. When you make it yourself, you know what’s in it. Just peanuts and honey, that’s all you need. It’s healthier, I reckon, and it tastes a whole lot better too.
And talkin’ about healthy, this honey roasted peanut butter, it ain’t just good for ya, it fills you up too. Keeps you goin’ all mornin’. Good for the young’uns, good for the old folks. Slap it on some bread, put it in a sandwich, or just eat it straight outta the jar with a spoon. No shame in that, I do it all the time. My grandkids, they love it too. Comes runnin’ when they smell them peanuts roasting.
This homemade sweet creamy honey roasted peanut butter, it ain’t just food, it’s like…comfort. It’s like a warm blanket on a cold night, makes you feel good inside. And that, to me, is worth more than all the fancy food in the world. So, go on, give it a try. You might just surprise yourself. You might find out you’re a peanut butter makin’ whiz, just like me, though I ain’t no whiz, just an old woman who knows what tastes good. And trust me, this honey roasted peanut butter? It tastes mighty good.
And if you’re one of them folks worried about cholesterol, well, don’t you fret none. This here peanut butter, it ain’t got none of that bad stuff. No trans fats neither. Just good, honest food. That’s what I like about it. Simple, and good for ya. Can’t beat that, can ya?
Some folks like it creamy, some like it chunky. Me? I like it somewhere in between. Not too smooth, not too rough. Just right. But that’s the beauty of makin’ it yourself, you can make it however you darn well please. Want it chunky? Don’t grind them peanuts so much. Want it smooth? Grind ‘em till they’re like butter. It’s all up to you.
So there you have it. My recipe for honey roasted peanut butter. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good. And that’s all that matters, right? Good, honest food, made with love. That’s the best kind of food there is.
