For a number of years I made my own, using a wonderful Salton Peanut Butter
Maker. When it died and a replacement was not available, I started buying
PB ground fresh to order at a local store. What I found was, it is only
fresh ground good for a few hours; PB a few days old was no better than I
could get in a jar. YMMV. I did love being a PB snob and telling people
how simple it was to make and how much better it was, implying a higher
level of sophistication than those who simply bought a jar of PB dreck.

I bet you were really good at it as well LOL

Eventually, I got past my snobbery and concluded that, unless I was willing
to fresh grind for each use of PB, it was a waste of time and effort; I am
not willing to grind fresh PB each time I want a sandwich or whatever other
use I might make of it. Smocker's Natural Crunchy is as good as I ever made
or bought fresh made, at least after the first day.
