Peanut butter

Isn't it interesting that those "best by dates" are mostly "best if SOLD by", but rarely "best if CONSUMED by".

Yup. Its nothing but marketing.

The thought I had to grind it was an old meat grinder with the nut butter attachment.

I wish I had one of those old grinders with all the attachments. My grandma had one. It was great. Lord knows what happened to it.

I found peanut butter by the 5 gallons on EBAY.

That's a LOT of peanut butter! I read a magazine the other day that had a recipe in it for almond butter. They toasted some unsalted almonds, then tossed them in a blender and added a pinch of sea salt and a little oil (if needed) to make the mixture smooth. Store in fridge. That was it. I bet you ten bucks you could do the same with peanuts, as they are a softer nut than almonds. My poor blender gets quite a workout as it is ... this is not gonna help his cause ... LOL

The biggest draw to making your own (for me anyway) is there are no added sugars or salts (unless I add them, so I know how much is there) and no added other stuff that I can't pronounce ...

The Peanut shop in madill does custom peanut butter, uses fresh peanuts from the mill in town.

I may have to try that but with cashews.
