Thermomix Peanut Butter

Submitted by Chef UK

"I recently purchased a Thermomix, 2 years after my last one finally broke (it was old and well-used). I'm so happy to have one again - it was like having an arm cut off being without one. I thought that I'd be able to do many of the things I used to do with it in my food processor - WRONG! No, I couldn't. Anyway, I'm thrilled to have one again, and it's getting heavy duty usage. I figured that it would be ideal for making homemade peanut butter, and a quick search turned up the following recipe from http://www.kidsinperth.com/htm/KIP%20104/Health&Sport&Nutrition.htm - an article by Thermomix in Australia."
