i use a large antique drugstore mortor/pestle and have made nutbutters of all kind for 40 years i’m verry old / the sesame oil is nice / my favorite concoction is extra dark deep fried peanuts and salt / if anyone is considering the mortor method the upside is nothing to ever burn out or malfunction the downside is u develop forearm muscles like popeye / peanutbutter on a cracker if god made something better he kept it for himself

Go easy on your blender or it will surely die. Even then world’s classiest handblender (which yours doesn’t look like) should only be run for about five minutes before being allowed to cool down. They’re also mainly designed for squishy watery things like soup, not thick gloopy things like peanut butter.

A long time ago I actually owned a peanut butter making machine. (No, I didn’t buy it, I was given it by a well-off stupid person who’d bought it before they realised they didn’t actually like peanut butter very much.) It made splendid peanut butter. It burned out in under a year.

I wonder what variations of oil would be like, ie sesame and the like. Looks fab!

I suppose you could blend jam, honey or what not into it. I try this!

I very much enjoy your cooking posts too. I liked the one about ratatouille which ended: ‘I don’t like ratatouille much anyway’.

“Blend the fucker til it looks like peanut butter should look like. You may find you need to cover the bowl for the first bit to stop the peanuts flying about the room.”

I think that culinary blogging is something you should consider doing more often. From the above, I see the potential for you to carve out another niche blog through a refreshingly honest approach to cooking. Had me in bits! :)
