Ya go to the store and you look in the peanut butter isle for peanut butter. And what do you see, jars with purple stripes in them and all kinds of versions of what was once peanuts. Remember when you were a kid and they used to grind peanuts and get peanut butter. Well, nowadays you look on the jar for the ingreidients and you see this shopping list of chemicals which is what they expect you to believe is peanut butter.
Now, if look around the shelf you might find something that says Old-Fashioned. I wonder when real ingredients became Old-Fashioned and if you look at the ingredients, it would probably say peanuts and salt and nothing more than that. So now I guess it is IN to be Old-Fashioned. That's what you want is peanut butter, so that's what you buy.
Now that you are home, you look at the peanut butter and you see all the oil at the top of this tall slender jar and the rest is at the bottom, so how are we to get it mixed back in without getting the oil all over the place. Well I have a trick for this I put the Peanut Butter in a plastic container that will allow me to easily stir the oil back in. Because the peanut butter at the bottom of the jar is thick and clumpy, it comes out real easy and the peanut butter jar is real clean. Give the jar a rinse under hot water and it is ready for the recycle bin.
Now I stir the oil back into the peanut butter with no loss of oil and when I am satisfied with my mixing, I cover the plastic container and refrigerate the peanut butter. The refrigeration keeps the oil from separating from the peanut butter.
And that is the Peanut Butter story.
