Crunchy and Smooth Peanut Butter
Make on Fresco
Truly delicious homemade peanut butter is hard to beat. Pass the apples, the celery or just a spoon will do...great with chocolate of course!
I do love a good peanut butter...you may notice that it does appear in a few recipes here and there. I tend not to eat it often as once I begin I find it hard to quit. This one is actually a praline paste, but we do have another recipe that is just plain old peanuts. Try it HERE. Both of these recipes will literally keep in the pantry for YEARS. It is to do with the high fat content. So rest assured you can make a load and never think about buying peanut butter ever again!
Then go ahead and try some of the other amazing recipes that use peanut butter as a core ingredient!

Meanwhile, create a sugar praline by placing the sugar into a dry frying panand onto a medium heat. Do not stir. Shake the sugar occasionally and thenas it starts to melt, a little more frequently so that the sugar melts equally.When it is all melted it should be a beautiful amber colour.
