How do I make raw peanut butter creamy?
I bought fresh ground peanut butter, and it's great and all, and I really like it for peanut sauces, but I really just want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and this stuff just isn't right for that.
- What additives should I mix in to get a more classic PB&J peanut butter from fresh ground, raw peanut butter?
- I am sure I will need to adjust on the fly, but what kind of oil should I add? Sugar? Salt?
- What equipment should I use to mix?
Best Answer
You've pretty much answered your own question. Put the PB in a blender, drizzle in a little peanut oil, blitz and season to taste with salt and a little sugar if you want it. I'd add them all slowly: you can always add, you can't take away.

If it's still not creamy enough, start the processor again and add another spoonful of oil. Do this in very small spoonfuls of oil so you don't risk making the peanut butter too thin. Repeat the process with small batches of peanut butter until they've all attained the desired texture.Why is my peanut butter not creamy?

Any neutral oil (canola, sunflower, etc.) should work just fine, and you won't need much. I like to do this in my food processor right after I grind the peanuts, but you can just throw the raw peanut butter in there.
