To mix, or not to mix, oily peanut butter
Normally I mix oily peanut butter, but not when I'm dipping something into
it. Grease is lovely. Why don't companys skim off the top of the peanut butter and sell it as skim peanutbutter? They can give the rest of it to health nuts. W. Pooh (AKA Winnie P.) |

Eventually you'll end up with peanut butter that's to dry to spread. Commercial brands of peanut butter like Jif add shortening to the peanut butter to keep it from separating. |

Very interesting. http://blog.buzzflash.com/contributors/1552 [from above:] As for the peanut butter, the night before the shows, we had a meeting with the production team at the Mayflower Hotel. Leaving, I walked down a corridor past Buckley's room. Taped to the door was the hotel room service menu with his breakfast order. I stopped to see what he had ordered. Pretty standard: juice, coffee, eggs, bacon, whole-wheat toast. But at the bottom, he had written a note. "Peanut butter for the toast, please. SKIPPY Peanut Butter." The word SKIPPY was underlined twice. "And not that damned Jif. I can tell the difference!" http://old.nationalreview.com/flashb...0406301006.asp [from above:] I was hardened very young to the skeptics. When I was twelve I was packed off to a British boarding school by my father, who dispatched every fortnight a survival package comprising a case of grapefruit and a large jar of peanut butter. I offered to share my tuck with the other boys at my table. They grabbed instinctively for the grapefruit - but one after another actually spit out the peanut butter, which they had never before seen and which only that very year (1938) had become available for sale in London. No wonder they needed American help to win the war. You can find it now in specialty shops in Europe, but I have yet to see it in anyone's home. And it is outrageously difficult to get even in the typical American hotel. My profession requires me to spend forty or fifty nights on the road every year, and when it comes time to order breakfast over the telephone I summon my resolution - it helps to think about peanut butter when you need moral strength - and add, after the orange juice, coffee, skim milk, and whole-wheat toast, "Do you have any peanut butter?" Sometimes the room service operator will actually break out laughing when the request is put in, at which point my voice becomes stern and unsmiling. Often the operator will say, "Just a minute," and then she will turn, I suppose to the chef, but I can hear right through the hand she has put over the receiver - "Hey Jack. We got any peanut butter? Room 322 wants some peanut butter!" This furtive philistinism is then regularly followed by giggles all around. One lady recently asked, "How old is your little boy and does he want a peanut butter sandwich? To which I replied, "My little boy is twenty-eight and is never without peanut butter, because he phones ahead before he confirms hotel reservations." I introduced Auberon Waugh to cashew butter ten years ago when he first visited America, and although I think it inferior to peanut butter Auberon was quite simply overwhelmed. You can't find it in Great Britain so I sent him a case from the Farmer's Market. It quite changed his writing style: for about ten months he was at peace with the world. I think that was the time he said something pleasant about Harold Wilson. In the eleventh month, it was easy to tell that he had run out. It quite changes your disposition and your view of the world if you cannot have peanut butter every day. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add one more zero, and remove the last word. |

Have you seen the price lately? And its only going higher. PB is now more expensive than the better cuts of beef. It will top off at 12 bucks a jar in a few months. And the price will *never* go back down. Paul |

It seems to me like making natural stone that doesn't sink. It must have something to do with the palm oil. The label doesn't say if it's hydrogenated. If you just take roasted peanuts and grind them fine, the oil will separate out if it stands around at room temperature. To avoid that, you can use special mutant peanuts (if you can get them), replace some or all of the peanut oil with something stiffer, or keep it cool. I get my peanut butter freshly ground -- I turn the mill on myself -- at Whole Earth and keep it in the fridge at home. Tp make it easier to spread, I zap the jar a bit before use.

But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. If you want good store-bought PB, try Crazy Richard. I get it for special occasions. Man, those guys know how to roast! It's OK to lose maybe a quarter of the oil before stirring it in, depending on how stiff you want it. Once stirred, store it in the fridge.

I like the Trader Joe's chocolate bars. They remind me Fanny Farmer (now Fanny May/1-800-FLOWERS) bars. It's hard to find a good mint-chocolate bar these days. They don't make 'em like they used to.
