chunky peanut butter, indeed

Do you make your own peanut butter? I used to, but Hub likes Jif better (new research *may* show that they're not so health-conscious, but I'll worry about that later).

I haven't made any in a while, but recently we ran out and I had some peanuts that no one was eating so I figured I'd whip some up.

I've always done it in the blender. Takes a while, but works fine. This time, not so much.

I added honey, as usual. Nope. So I added a little oil (ick). Still crumbly.

Sigh. Throw out the whole batch? Never! Then we still wouldn't have any peanut butter...

Solution: mix chunky peanut butter with jelly first, then spread.

Voila. I feel like a genius.
