Peanut Butter

We do love our peanut butter here on Turnips 2 Tangerines. In fact, if I has too I could live on peanut butter. I just never, ever get tired of the stuff. But what exactly is peanut butter. Developed in 1890 and promoted as a health food at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Peanut butter is a blend of ground shelled peanuts, vegetable oil and usually a small amount of salt. It takes about 850 peanuts to produce an 18-oz jar of peanut butter.

Natural Peanut Butter

Natural peanut butter uses only peanuts and oil, usually peanut oil. Peanut butter is sold in two-forms; smooth and chunky. Chunky peanut butter contains bits of peanuts and is super in peanut butter cookies. Natural peanut butter must be refrigerated after opening and can be stored in this manner for up 6 months. Peanut butter can easily be made at home using a blender or food processor.

Recipe Note:

Muesli Applesauce Muffins are the perfect grab and go breakfast. For this recipe we used Skippy Peanut Butter and a boxed cake mix from Duncan Hines. You might be wondering, Where’s the crunch? The crunch part in this peanut butter crunch cake is the crunchy peanut butter. If you don’t have crunchy peanut butter but you do have peanut butter and peanuts, then chop up the peanuts and add them to the creamy-style peanut butter:)
