1 Transfer the peanuts to a food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary, about 10 minutes. The peanuts will go from flour-like clumps to a ball against the side of the food processor, and finally, the mixture will turn lusciously creamy. If the mixture gets hot along the way or your machine seems tired, stop and let it cool for a few minutes.
2 If desired, add a pinch or two of salt, honey and/or cinnamon. Blend until well mixed, about 30 seconds, then taste and add more if desired.
3 Let the peanut butter cool to room temperature, then transfer the mixture to a mason jar and screw on the lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
