Whole Earth organic peanut butter

Its far from balnd, you just love salt and sugar. There's no point trying any others, stick with the sunpat.
Same as those blind taste tests when people pick like 20% meat sausage rolls over proper sausage rolls. Just had something for so long, forgot what food should taste like.
If you give pretty much all sugar up, its amazing how your pallate changes in just a couple of weeks, fruit becomes so much sweeter tasting.

(brain wave ?) DIY recipes, courtesy of google this and this
if, like shop bought jam/marmalade where there is no comparison with the homemade variety (and you can decide on any adulterated ingredients) - diy should be the solution.
[if the labels do declare the real % of nuts, even if the Biona almond stuff I bought was 80% in the ~£3 170g jar, almonds are about £10/Kg so diy should be much cheaper]

Try to get the meridian when it's for sale at 1quid for the 340g jars in tesco. Find peanut butter too moreish so don't always have it in! Got a jar or peanut butter and coconut the other day. It was like catnip. Couldn't stop eating it.

This is the exact issue I have with peanut butter. It's too dangerous to have in the house

I buy the MyProtein crunchy peanut butter, similar RRP to the Meridian stuff but there's always a discount code. Tasty stuff.
there is this device called a spoon, you can use such a device to mix the oil back in to the peanut.
Any good peanutbutter will separate at room temperate. Stir it up and throw it in the fridge.
I found whole earth quite dry and stuck to the roof of your mouth.
I'm tempted to buy a big bag of peanuts and make my own again; you basically just whiz it around in a blender for a few minutes.
I always make peanut butter myself. Well technically the supermarket does. Nothing beats fresh made peanut butter. Over here you get peanutbutter in the aisle with the coffee etc. Instead of grinding coffee there is a machine that grinds up fresh roasted peanuts for you, or almonds.
With no preservative it wont last too long out of a fridge but worth it.
Meridian lists nothing other than 100% nuts and lasts for ages out of the fridge.
Even after giving it an good stir, it's pretty oily. Especially the Pip & Nut products - terrible. They're just like putting wet slop with the odd peanut onto your toast.
I had thought they had added oil to most peanut butters, but seems not at least for Meridian and Biona - am I being misled somehow ?
The diy recipes form earlier post suggest adding some peanut/ground-nut oil, so I had expected shop stuff would have it too, in spades. -
... except for D.P.s where you can see what goes in.
edit: looks like whole earth are the charlatans
That is loving of them

To be honest it very much comes down to what you're used to.
I tried peanut butter sunpat style stuff when I was a kid and hated it so never touched it again. I then tried the Meridian style stuff as a grown up and that's now how I prefer my PB.

Perfect for me as I eat peanut butter every day for the healthy fats etc which are mostly in the oil
Don't put mine on toast though - goes into my morning shake
