Instructions
Add the peanuts: Add the roasted peanuts and salt (if using) to your Vitamix container.
Slowly increase the speed: Start the blender on the lowest speed and slowly increase the speed to high. Use the tamper continuously to push the peanuts down into the blades while they blend.
Watch the transformation: The peanuts will go through several stages before becoming smooth peanut butter: crumbly peanuts, thick peanut paste, sticky dough-like ball, smooth, glossy peanut butter. Keep blending until the peanut butter becomes silky smooth. Resist the temptation to stop early—the natural oils need time to fully release. It will take anywhere between 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer and store: Transfer the peanut butter to a clean airtight jar and allow it to cool before sealing.
