Place the hot nuts in a food processor or strong blender.
Break up the hot nuts by pulsing and processing them until they look like wet sand, and start to clump together.
Add the salt, then 1 teaspoon each of maple syrup and oil.
Blend well, then taste test. Add more salt and/or maple syrup if you'd like for more flavor.
Remember to keep the balance of maple syrup and oil equal. If you add 1 tsp maple syrup, add 1 tsp oil at the same time, to help prevent the peanut butter from seizing up.
Keep blending until you get a smooth peanut butter texture. You may need to add a small amount of oil at a time to help. (This depends a lot on type of nut used and type of blender/food processor.)
Enjoy your natural homemade peanut butter! It can be used right away, or stored in the fridge for up to one month.
