Re: Nutty Butter - was - Welcome New Members!

I'm also loving the ease and convenience of making peanut butter in my Vitamix. A question though - my husband and I were talking this morning... we've been using natural peanut butter for several years, and it is quite a bit more oily than the peanut butter that I am making in my Vitamix. When I look on the jar of the store bought peanut butter, the only ingredients are peanuts and salt. So why is it so much more oily?I'm also quite gratified by my children asking for smoothies every single day. Right now, my son is HOOKED on "banana milkshakes" (simply frozen banana chunks, 1% milk, a splash of vanilla, and a date). How can I deny him THAT? lol. He says it tastes as good as any "real milkshake" he has ever had. FrannyOn Mar 22, 2011, at 7:56 AM, Lea Ann Savage wrote:

Because it went from the plant where it was made to a warehouse to get shipped to the store to the store shelves giving the oil a long time to separate. Make a batch of fresh nut butter, set it on the counter and don't touch it for a month or two and see if it doesn't look just like the natural peanut butter you had been eating for years. There is a lot of oil in peanuts and the longer it sits - the more the oil will separate and rise to the top.LOVE the testimonial about your grandkids asking for smoothies! I envy you guys - my boys think of me and the "health-nut-crazy-woman" mom and I am NOT COOL to them. Kids in my audience beg their parents to get a Vitamix machine - my kids roll their eyes and ask, "what did you put in it this time mom"...

The only thing that I can think of that would make the store bought natural peanut butter more oily than your home-made natural peanut butter is that the store bought has had a few more days/weeks/months to sit on the shelf or even in the jar than your home-made does, thus allowing the oils to separate more than your home-made has time to do.  I know with my family, we are eating it with a few days or a week at most so, even though the oils separate some and rise to the surface, it still does not have the amount of time to do so as your store bought variety does.  Does this make sense to anyone else?

Maybe different varieties of peanuts? Maybe yours is being used sooner whereas your commercial brand was on the shelf longer and had had more time to settle?

If you can get Valencia peanuts (and aren't using them already), give them a try--they make a particularly tasty butter.

Help please! :-)

I am having a horrible time trying to make peanut butter with my VM! I am

using roasted peanuts, it whirs around then creates a giant air bubble, I

tamp it down as much as I can, but it never gets all incorporated. I try to

do 2 cups of nuts at a time. I let the VM go for about 10 min, but after

that time, there is such a " burning " smell, I get scared and turn it off. I

get nothing like peanut butter, it is a grainy, dry mess! I have tried

adding oil, but still it doesn't get creamy, or all incorporated...what am I

doing wrong?? My VM is a super 5000.

Thanks for your help!

Guys, just in case there was a misunderstanding (...), the "someone" referred to was myself--the statement was meant to be self-deprecating.

Hello Lea Ann, I'd like to introduce myself so that you can put me on your Christmas list!  LOL

 

I'm just kidding of course, but all variations sound so yummy!  One of the first things I did w/ my VM was to mix peanuts, peanut m & m's and cashews (I think I added the cashews). Out of this world!  I never made that again.........  :-)

Re: "Nutty Butter" - was - Welcome New Members!

The only thing that I can think of that would make the store bought natural peanut butter more oily than your home-made natural peanut butter is that the store bought has had a few more days/weeks/months to sit on the shelf or even in the jar than your home-made does, thus allowing the oils to separate more than your home-made has time to do. I know with my family, we are eating it with a few days or a week at most so, even though the oils separate some and rise to the surface, it still does not have the amount of time to do so as your store bought variety does. Does this make sense to anyone else?

I'm just kidding of course, but all variations sound so yummy! One of the first things I did w/ my VM was to mix peanuts, peanut m & m's and cashews (I think I added the cashews). Out of this world! I never made that again......... :-)

Lee Ann - it is (the irony, humorous;) ). And just so you don't feel alone in this...

Fortunately it wasn't anything hurtful that I wrote, but it was about someone in our class.

Help please! :-)

I am having a horrible time trying to make peanut butter with my VM! I am

using roasted peanuts, it whirs around then creates a giant air bubble, I

tamp it down as much as I can, but it never gets all incorporated. I try to

do 2 cups of nuts at a time. I let the VM go for about 10 min, but after

that time, there is such a " burning " smell, I get scared and turn it off. I

get nothing like peanut butter, it is a grainy, dry mess! I have tried

adding oil, but still it doesn't get creamy, or all incorporated...what am I

doing wrong?? My VM is a super 5000.

Thanks for your help!

Good point Ross - it must be made on High and not variable 10 - I hadn't thought to ask that one!

Thanks for the comforting words Franny - I hate my ADD sometimes, but my "outside of the box" thinking and quirky personality would vanish with the ADD should I find a way to rid myself of it. As long as I have friends who will forgive my foibles, I'll just soldier on with my ADD addled (prone to mental lapses) brain… :-)

The only thing that I can think of that would make the store bought natural peanut butter more oily than your home-made natural peanut butter is that the store bought has had a few more days/weeks/months to sit on the shelf or even in the jar than your home-made does, thus allowing the oils to separate more than your home-made has time to do. I know with my family, we are eating it with a few days or a week at most so, even though the oils separate some and rise to the surface, it still does not have the amount of time to do so as your store bought variety does.

-- Re: "Nutty Butter" - was - Welcome New Members!

Because it went from the plant where it was made to a warehouse to get shipped to the store to the store shelves giving the oil a long time to separate. Make a batch of fresh nut butter, set it on the counter and don't touch it for a month or two and see if it doesn't look just like the natural peanut butter you had been eating for years. There is a lot of oil in peanuts and the longer it sits - the more the oil will separate and rise to the top.

LOVE the testimonial about your grandkids asking for smoothies! I envy you guys - my boys think of me and the "health-nut-crazy-woman" mom and I am NOT COOL to them. Kids in my audience beg their parents to get a Vitamix machine - my kids roll their eyes and ask, "what did you put in it this time mom"...

He says it tastes as good as any "real milkshake" he has ever had.

-- Re: "Nutty Butter" - was - Welcome New Members!

The only thing that I can think of that would make the store bought natural peanut butter more oily than your home-made natural peanut butter is that the store bought has had a few more days/weeks/months to sit on the shelf or even in the jar than your home-made does, thus allowing the oils to separate more than your home-made has time to do. I know with my family, we are eating it with a few days or a week at most so, even though the oils separate some and rise to the surface, it still does not have the amount of time to do so as your store bought variety does. Does this make sense to anyone else?~Davinna
