Nuts N' Honey

With eager expectation I opened the vacuum~sealed bag of peanuts, bellowing its nutty aroma into the air. They were already salted, so I did not feel the need to add more. Waiting in a white paper bag were some fresh shelled walnuts. I plugged the transformer to change the voltage into the plug so I wouldn't make my handy chopper a handy cooker and poured in the nuts. Walnuts first, because they have been so patient, then the peanuts. With a twist of the top and a chop chop chop the nuts quickly turned into a lovely homemade two~nut butter. I also added wildflower honey~quite a bit actually. Semi-sweet and coarser than traditional creamy peanut butter, this spread made an excellent snack smothering an apple. A few tablespoons of olive oil were infused to keep the mixture consistent and the texture from being like concrete mix. This is just the beginning of many homemade peanut butter experiences I will have here in Kosovo. This post brought to you in part by Pami brand peanuts...we're nuts!
