Notes
Peanut butter will last up to 6 months in the fridge or 1 month in a cool, dark cupboard or pantry.
You can always add a pinch of salt, honey or vanilla extract at the end of blending.
For crunchy peanut butter, blend the peanuts for a shorter amount of time, or mix in a chopped ¼ cup of the roasted peanuts to the smooth peanut butter.
