Sweet and Spiced Peanut Butter

Makes 1 cup

Once you see how simple it is to make your own peanut butter at home, you will wonder why you ever purchased it. Here we give a sweeter version, but you can adjust the sugar and spices to whatever you wish, or just leave it plain with a bit of salt. Process fully for a creamy version, or if a chunky style is preferred, add additional peanuts after processing and pulse to combine.
