Peanut butter

[The Dong]

Easy one. Love it or hate it, I made some nut butter just now.
Economics being as they are, I can buy a half kilo of unshelled, raw 
nuts for £1. A jar of cheap PB costs about 80p but tastes like it's made 
from the shells mixed with cheap vegetable oil.

I followed very roughly this:

But I don't have a food processor, so used the end of a wooden rolling 
pin to crush in a bowl. Used a lot less (brown) sugar, a half teaspoon 
salt, fresh roasted and shelled peanuts, macadamia, almonds and some 
pecans, but the peanuts were dominant.
Used a splosh of walnut oil to get a just spreadable, thick sticky poo.
Any oil would do, but I thought a nut based oil would add more to the 
flavour.
I watched a video online of some girl making peanut butter and it turned 
out like melted butter. That's not right, not my right anyhoos..

After an hour of all this and the final pounding, it looks like dark 
crunchy peanut butter, but tastes like a £6 jar of primo crispy, salty, 
nutty sin! ;)

Hmmm. Dip some carrots in that, or with caramel and ice cream, toast.
