Shit, I bought natural peanut butter by mistake

[Beachguyj]

It should have a huge warning that the top half inch of the jar is oil.

STart stirring

I always buy natural peanut butter. It's much tastier than the other stuff.

 

[somerandomguy07]

yeah it's a shame natural peanut butter has that oil because it would otherwise contain hydrogenated oils (solid at room temp) that'll clog your arteries, has less sodium and tastes more like actual peanuts than the normal goods.. might as well throw that shit out.

It's meant to do that. You mix the oil back in thoroughly. However, if you got unsalted, you are well & truly fucked.

Why? Can't he just add some salt before he stirs it?

Agreed When it comes to peanut butter, I prefer the taste of peanuts over added sugar and oils.

Short answer is no.

Long answer is that you can use it in recipes if you mean to add salt to them.

 

[Spiff]

Short answer is no.

Say what??? I do it all the time. That way I can control the amount of salt rather than have some manufacturer decide for me how much salt to add.

 

[LilBit]

^Yeah, I don't understand either.

'Natural peanut butter'???

As opposed to 'un-natural peanut butter' perchance? ... or maybe even 'supernatural peanut butter'?

 

[cityboy-stl]

My Favorite! Just peanuts and salt. Nothing else is added which is what makes it natural. Just stir it up to mix in the oil and then put it in the refrigerator. The oil never separates if it kept cold.

I've always been irritated by the moronic ergonomics of the peanut butter jar. It's absolutely not conducive to stirring, and stirring is one of the main things you must do with peanut butter. It's difficult to get your mix on, it's difficult to get down deep enough, and it's difficult to not end up with peanut butter all over the jar and your fingers.

A tub makes way more sense. The first thing I do with my Adam's Crunchy is scoop all the contents out and put it in a wide tub. Then, I stir.

 

[Beachguyj]

Which brand did you purchase?

Peter Pan crunchy.

As opposed to the kind of peanut butter that dominates the American market, which is made with all kinds of hydrogenated fats, high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and other unpronounceable ingredients.

 

[Geoffboyardee]

mmmmmm, peanut butter.

I FUCKING LOVE PEANUT BUTTER. I litterally eat it by the spoonfuls. And the natural stuff is the best. THE BEST!

Plus it tastes especially good on toasted English muffins.

[hungrybrownbear]

aren't you supposed to stir it back in?

 

[AlmondMilk]

I love natural peanut butter I'll have it if you don't want it.

 

[freefall]

If you're pissed, just buy fresh peanuts, stir-fry them until dry and crisp, then mash them into paste.

There. You have your homemade peanut butter.
