Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter

Use fresh unsalted roasted peanuts—they will be white on the
first day they arrive at the health food store from the distributor.
(Ask when they will
arrive.) Or shell fresh
roasted peanuts
yourself, throwing
away all shriveled or
darkened nuts. Grind,
adding salt and vitamin
C (¼ tsp. per
pint) as you go. For
spreadability, especially
for children,
grind an equal
volume of cold butter along with the peanuts. This improves
spreadability and digestibility of the hard nut particles. This will
probably be the most heavenly peanut butter your mouth has ever
experienced.
Sweetening and Flavoring
Brown Sugar. Although I am prejudiced against all sugar
from a health standpoint, my testing revealed no benzene, propyl
alcohol, wood alcohol. However it does contain sorghum mold
and must be treated with vitamin C to detoxify it. Add ¼ tsp. to a
1 pound package; knead until well mixed.
Maple syrup. Add vitamin C to newly opened bottle, ¼ tsp.
to retard mold. Keep refrigerated and use promptly.
Flavoring. Use maple, vanilla (both natural and artificial),
and any pure spice. They are free of molds and solvents.
Honeys. Get at least 4 flavors for variety: linden blossom,
orange blossom, plain clover and local or wild flower honey.

Add vitamin C to newly opened jar to detoxify ergot mold (¼ tsp.
per pint).
Jams and jellies. They are not safe unless homemade.
Fruit syrup. Use one package frozen fruit, such as cherries,
blueberries or raspberries. Let thaw and measure the amount in
cups (it might say on the package). Add an equal amount of
clover honey to the fruit. Also add ¼ tsp. vitamin C powder. Mix
it all in a quart canning jar and store in the refrigerator. Use this
on pancakes, cereal, plain yogurt and homemade ice cream too.
Use to make your own flavored beverages in a seltzer maker or
to make soda pop. If you wish to use fresh fruit, bring it to a boil
to sterilize. Use it up in a few days or boil to sterilize it again.
Note for diabetics
Diabetics must not use artificial sweeteners. Nor can they use
all the sweeteners listed. Try stevia powder instead.
