Living in Korea I cannot find anywhere that carries Natural Peanut Butter regularly (if someone on here lives in Korea and does know please pass on that info).

I began making my own with peanuts and a food processor. Problem is that in 3 months I have completely destroyed 2 of them because it burns them up when I try to make enough to do me one week at a time. Anyone have a solution to this????

As well, there is not near as much oil seperation in the homemade Natty PB as in store bought. Acutally, there is hardly any at all (you really go to look for it). Any comments on something I may be doing wrong?

In Newfinese: How's e gettin on, bye?

Anyhow, a friend of mine makes his own PB all the time and here is what he does:

2 cups roasted shelled peanuts
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if salted peanuts are used)

Put oil in blender and add peanuts and salt. Blend until desired consistency is reached (~2-3 mins). Stop the machine to scrape down the sides several times. Makes ~1 cup creamy PB.

I've heard him say that he's burned out a blender when he first started, but he found that if he made a small batch (this recipe) instead of doubling or tripling it, it would work fine and he's not blown up a blender in over a year. So, he makes 5 or 6 small batches and it fills up a typical PB jar.

Can you buy it online in bulk? That would save your blenders. By the way, what is 'Natty'? I've seen it posted everywhere on this site. Is that an abbreviation for 'natural' or is it a brand of peanut butter?

Natty is just short for natural.

Hmmmm I lived in Korea for little over a year. I really cannot remember any place that sold natty PB. I remember seeing some regular but no natty. But if they have it you should be able to find it in Seoul.

Small batches is the way to go. It only takes about 5 mins of processing to make it creamy so I'd say do a couple of batches. Do you use a lot of peanut butter? 1 cups PB will go pretty far if you are just throwing it on toast.Mind you you could buy the best "other" type that you can find....read the label to see what works best for you. Some brands are sweeter than others (depending on how much icing sugar is added) so buy small jars first while you are searching out brands.

I lived in Korea for 6 years growing up. Yongsan Army base, woooo! Umm, haven't been there in 7-8 years, so I dunno if I can help, sorry! :confused:
