Peanut butter jelly time!

My hubby is obsessed with peanut butter. One time when watching the food network, Alton Brown made some peanut butter. Thanks to spencer, I have never forgotten how cool that recipe is and how badly we needed to try it. Spencer also thought it would make the best neighbor gifts. Months had gone by and we still hadn't made any. But finally, we made some! We went to the store and got some peanuts and other ingredients. Spencer couldn't wait to get home, he was smiling the whole way. Spencer ran inside and started washing his peanuts. He washed, dried and salted them. Then he evenly spread them on a cookie sheet and roasted them. We sat down in front of the tv and peeled off all the shells of the newly roasted peanuts. After that was done, we put them in a food processor along with salt and honey. The peanuts in the processor looked thick and clumpy. I was worried that our peanut butter wouldn't work out. Spencer would be heart broken! But sure enough after a couple minutes, it started to look like peanut butter. The hubby made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the spot. He is so proud! Hey neighbors, watch out! Christmas peanut butter coming your way!
