Made From Scratch: Peanut Butter

I am a huge fan of natural peanut butter -- though until now, I never attempted to make it on my own. Making peanut butter is actually ridiculously simple. Just whirl the peanuts in a food processor until peanut butter forms, and season to taste. It really is just as simple as that!
