Peanuts

Recipes specify when raw peanuts are to be used and indicate the type required - in shell, shelled redskins, or shelled blanched (redskins removed).

When a recipe calls for roasted peanuts, the home roasted (without redskins), commercial cocktail type or dry roasted may be used interchangeably. When roasted redskins are required, it will be specified.

Peanut Butter

Either homemade peanut butter (of a consistency comparable to commercial peanut butter), the old-fashioned, non-stabilized or the regular commercial stabilized peanut butter may be used. When the crunchy type is required, it will be specified.

Chopping Peanuts

Peanuts are easily chopped in a food processor, or by dropping a few at a time in a blender, or with an inexpensive nut chopper (available at most department and grocery stores).
