< p > This is the easiest thing in the world.< / p >
< ol >
< li > Dry-fry (no oil etc.) the peanuts in the large frying pan for about 10 mins or for as long as it takes for the peanuts to become golden brown.
< ul >
< li > This will encourage the oils in the peanuts to release - which is exactly what we want!< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > Put the now-roasted peanuts into the blender and blend.
< ul >
< li > Blend, blend, blend and blend some more.< / li >
< li > There will be a point when you think nothing's happening and the small bits of peanut are just moving around the blender, or just stuck in place. Give the stuck pieces a nudge with a spatula and get back to blending.< / li >
< li > Blend, blend, blend even more until, eventually, the mixture starts to bind together and turn into a thick solid mass.< / li >
< li > Keep blending and the mixture will loosen up become a lovely, smooth, peanut butter.< / li >
< / ul >
< / li >
< li > Spoon out into a suitable container and allow to cool (or just eat it there and then, I won't judge you).< / li >
< / ol >
< p > Top Tips =< / p >
< ul >
< li > If you prefer a chunky peanut butter, save some of the roasted peanuts back and only put them into the blended mixture at the end with a bit of a stir - lovely!< / li >
