Peanut Butter

Nuts are found indigestible chiefly because of the impossibility of grinding them fine enough with the teeth. The value of nut butters is therefore obvious.

Almost any kind of nut will make good butter, but peanuts are perhaps the best and the most generally available. Pound freshly roasted nuts in a mortar or put them through a chopper, using the knife designed especially for the making of nut butters. Season with salt and add a little olive oil if desired. In most cases the oil from the nuts is sufficient to moisten the butter.
