Balancing sweet and savory is a skill. This umami-rich peanut butter is ideal to quickly spread on toast, or use in all sorts of more elaborate dishes. Just don’t forget to add Edward’s secret ingredients.
Sure, roasted peanuts work incredibly well with this recipe but use your favorite nut and turn it into butter. Cashews are rich and delicious, too.
