The best pb for your j

Besides crunchy and creamy versions, you can find peanut butters labeled “low-sugar,” “low-sodium,” “no trans fats,” even “made with Valencia peanuts.” Regardless of the touts, most are made the same way: Peanuts are roasted, ground with salt and sugar, then mixed with an added fat component to prevent separation. During testing, we found some spreads so pasty we got an upper-body workout stirring them; other “spreads” ripped bread. A few had the aroma and flavor of just-ground glory―abundantly peanutty and perfect for spooning right out of the container. In the end, several staffers decided to ditch their household brand for these winners.

BEST CRUNCHY―TIE!: Jif Extra Crunchy Price: $2.59 (18 ounces) Testers said: Raters loved this not-too-sweet, not-too-salty crunchy spread. If you like a lot of peanuts, this is the one for you. Cookies made with this butter were chewy, but crisp on bottom with good peanutty flavor. Ideal for sandwiches, on crackers, in a nutty sauce for cold soba noodles, or as a base for a curry paste.

Back in the days when I could still eat peanut butter, Crunchy Jif was the best and apparently still is.

Nowadays I buy the store brand jumbo jar. Hey, it’s goopy brown stuff made of peanuts, works with jelly — my kids don’t care. Of the name brands, I prefer Peter Pan. There’s a good natural brand called Crazy Richard’s, but it’s just not worth the expenditure these days.

I don’t know how anyone can eat Jif. *shudder*

WIll let the chicken cook the rest of the night, but dad and I just finished a nice saucepan full of chicken and noodles....(Will freeze some of the others and make a small pot pie)....Crock pots make cooking easy for just the two of us. One pot full is several meals.

Have soy intolerance and tree nut allergies so the PB is either pure PB or Smart Balamce.
