Easy, easy, easy!

Get the nicest, fattest peanuts; remove the skin if there is any. A food processor is the easiest way to do this, or you could even mash them by hand if you have to. Mash up the peanuts, adding the tiniest drizzle of oil (vegetable is fine) until you think it's the right consistency. Refrigerate. When you want some pb put the amount in a small bowl to warm up a bit.. Voila!

Sold some mighty fine nuts in his day. Heretoday is right--the best peanut butter is is simply peanuts, mashed up with a bit of oil (we prefer canola oil), and nothing else. Yumm-warmed up un a bagel-tasty!

Comments:

does it make a difference in taste with different oils?

My dad, who is Jewish, used to watch my mom, who is christian, spread peanut butter on bagels and groan at the indignity of it all. He would tell you to enjoy your "goyishe" bagels!
