Default Changing my peanut butter

Since is was a kid, the peanut butter of choice has been Skippy Chunk.
Trued Jif, tried Peter Pan, tried some form of fresh ground, but never
got past the one jar and back to Skippy chunk.

Well, nearly 70 years later I'm changing. Yep, tried and liked Skippy
Natural chunk. Not a huge difference, but a little fresher peanut
taste. I've looked at it on the shelf for a long time and finally
bought a jar last week.

I like Peter Pan better than Jiff now but Planters tastes more like roasted peanuts but I never see it now.

The natural peanut butter products from Jif and Skippy are kind of revolutionary. They have a smoother texture and do not use hydrogenated oils as stabilizers. You will get some oil separation but it's not like the old natural peanut butters. I can't say how they do it.

At least it's not a Nestle product.

I usta favor Jif, but then I realized they use sugar/salt to improve the
flavor. I no longer eat PB. Yes, I've tried Laura Scudder's Natural.
OTOH, most PBs contain sugar. If I'm gonna partake of sugar/salt, I'll
jes eat Beer Nuts.

I usually make my own PB since I use very little of it.

So, making pb on the spot means you have peanuts all the time but not a jar that can last years. I am jealous.

No. I don't keep jars of PB around since I overeat it, but I most always
have peanuts in the shell for the bluejays. If I want some PB I just whiz up
a few in the grinder, add a bit of oil, a drop of Sweetzfree and use it that
way. Tastes fine and easy for me.

There is no recipe, a few shelled peanuts in the grinder that came with the
Bamix, a couple of drops or so of oil, and for me a drop of Sweetzfree all
whizzed together.

Hey! That's cool! I don't have a problem with using a knife to stir
PB but if I ever do I'll consider something like that. Thanks!

The difference is you add sweetener.

I will generally buy any of those. Did not buy Peter Pan for a time after
the massive recall. Has to be chunky for me. Do not like smooth. I just buy
what is on sale. But has has to be one of those three. Never the store
brand. Tried a store brand once. Ick.

We made our own when I was a kid. Got a Mr. Peanut peanut butter maker as a
kid. Put the nuts in his hat, turn a crank and the peanut butter came out of
his arm pit into a dish. Want chunks? Add a chopped peanut or two. Made just
enough for a sandwich. Loved it till it died!

I have been making my own peanut butter for years now - I just put
roasted unsalted peanuts in the food processor and process until smooth
and creamy - about 4 minutes for a pound of peanuts. No extra oil,
sugar or salt. I keep it in the refrigerator so it doesn't separate.

I'm only making a couple of TBS at a time which I eat right away.

PEANUTS, SUGAR, PALM OIL, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: SALT, MOLASSES.

Palm oil is semi-solid at room temperature, unlike peanut oil.

I've never found a natural peanut butter that was salty enough for me.

Palm oil is largely reponsible for the near extinction of the
orangutan. Don't buy products with palm oil if you have half a heart.

"Every hour 300 football fields of precious remaining forest is being
ploughed to the ground across South East Asia to make way for palm oil
plantations.

Almost 80% of orangutan habitat has disappeared in the last 20 years.

We are losing over 6,000 orangutans a year.

There are now only 400 Sumatran tigers left in the world.

Join the palm oil resistance movement"

Understood. If I were making that small of an amount I would use my
mini processor and still just the peanuts.

There is no recipe, a few shelled peanuts in the grinder that came with the
Bamix, a couple of drops or so of oil, and for me a drop of Sweetzfree all
whizzed together.

That might explain it although I doubt that it would be semi-solid in the tropics. The peanuts are ground to a finer particle size in these products which could also be a factor. I think that makes it a smoother, more pleasant, peanut butter.

Increasing numbers of palm oil plantations and deforestation is
impacting the natural habitat of the orangutans.

July and August in Ann Arbor, MI, are about the same temperature as July and
August in Kaneohe, HI. Granted, I air-condition my house to 71 F, but we
don't get anything resembling a sea breeze here.

To each their own. I just finished a jar of chunky peanut butter; I had
forgotten how much I liked it.

Chunky peanut butter is fine. I'm saying that the natural products from Jif and Skippy are different from regular peanut butters because they're processed differently.

Try making your own from Planter's Dry Roasted salted peanuts.
I've had that and it was good. I really prefer them plain out of
the jar better. For peanut butter, Jif if my first and only
choice. That's the taste I'm used to and like.

Probably jerk off to much using it then don't have any interest

Yes, and now every time I east toast and PB an orangutan is closer to
death. I did not realize that and may change back since palm il is
used. That is a lot of forest damaged.

I think it is a favourite activity for some monkeys. I used to look
after on when I was animal caretaker for the Psych department at
university. Just about every time I went into his home he would be
choking the chicken.

The whole point of peanut butter is that it's already prepared. If
I have to make peanut butter to smear a tablespoon on a couple of
crackers, it's not worth it.

You sure that wasn't Popeye in there visiting with the monkeys?

My recommendation for parents with little kids is they just bypass the monkey house during a day at the zoo. Those critters are in serious need of some underwear. OTOH, young couples would probably find it highly amusing. In that case, the monkey house can be the high point of a visit to the zoo.

Perhaps, but if it is really good freshly made it would be worth the
effort.

One reason I have PB on hand is the ease of use. In a hurry? Grab a
piece of bread or a couple of crackers and you have a snack to hold you
over on the way to work, etc. I certainly never wanted to grind my nuts
at 5:30 AM.

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.
