Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Peanut butter
  • 300 g roasted peanuts salted or unsalted, about 2 cups
  • 3 tbsp sunflower or peanut oil plus more for a softer spread
Optional
  • 1 pinch salt if the peanuts are unsalted
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 small handful of raisins

Equipment

  • Sana 707, 727 or 929 juicer with homogenising screen
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Clean glass jar

Method
 

Prepare
  1. Stir the peanuts and oil together in a bowl until every nut is coated. Add the raisins now if using.
  2. Fit the homogenising screen and drum cap. Put a bowl under the end of the drum and a small container under the juice outlet.
Press
  1. Switch on and spoon the peanuts into the chute a little at a time. The first pass gives a coarse, crumbly paste.
  2. Feed the paste back through. Repeat until smooth: allow three or four passes at this amount of oil, fewer if you add more.
  3. If the paste stops coming out, switch off, take off the drum cap, clear it, refit it and carry on.
Finish
  1. Stir in the salt and honey if using, and a little more oil if you want it softer.
  2. Spoon into a clean jar, seal and refrigerate. Use within a few weeks.

Notes

Sana's own recipe uses about 3 tablespoons of oil to one cup (about 150 g) of peanuts for a soft spread in two passes. We use the same oil for double the nuts and allow an extra pass or two for a thicker butter.
