Valencia Peanut And Flax Seed Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups valencia peanuts
1/4 cup brown flax seed
1/4 cup golden flax seed
salt, to taste
oil, to blend as needed
sugar (optional)

Preparation

Roast the peanuts either on the stove top or in the oven until golden brown, adding the flax seeds the last 6-8 minutes of roasting. Be *very careful* not to burn the peanuts or flax seeds! Stir often! I would recommend stove top roasting with this step (a cast iron skillet being ideal). After roasting, set aside to cool slightly.
Place the peanuts and flax seeds in a food processor or blender and blend to desired consistency adding a little bit of oil to help blend the butter smoothly. Season with salt, to taste. Optional: Add sugar if desired, to desired sweetness.
Transfer the mixture to a container and cover (I use a recycled canning jar). We keep the nut/seed mixture refrigerated.
Stir the nut/seed butter each time before spreading to distribute the oils.
