We make peanut butter ourselves. This is the current process that seems to work best:

Roast one tray of peanuts for about 45 minutes at 150°C (circulating air) in the oven. Make sure to utilize solar power!
Let the peanuts cool down a bit
Put most of them into the manual food processor
Put on the custom lid with a hole
Put in the following parts in the electric brushless drill:
Drill bits
Put the bits into the manual part with the spinning blades
Process them for about 5 minutes on the highest setting or until the consistency is nice and creamy
Possibly add some rapeseed oil (try without!)
Add the rest of the peanuts
Process them for another 1 minute or until the added peanuts are small enough
Done!

-This is a great example of work we do in Kanthaus that technically saves us money, but only if we don't value our time that much. The peanuts cost 2€/kg, but factoring in 15€/h, the peanut butter costs about 20€/kg. With a bigger / better / electrical food processor, the time necessary could be greatly reduced, but already it has the advantage of highlighting the value and ''speciallness'' of peanut butter.
