PEANUT BUTTER
Makes 2 cups

• 500g peanuts

ALMOND BUTTER
Makes 1¼ cups

• 300g almonds

1. Preheat oven to 170C.

2. Spread your choice of nuts out on an oven tray. Place into oven for 10-15 minutes until they give off a nutty aroma, the oil is making them shine and nuts are starting to colour.

3. Tip into a food processor. Turn on and blend for a few minutes. Stop and brush nuts off the sides. Continue to blend until you have your butter. This may take up to 10 minutes. Spoon into jars ready for use.
