A Brief History of Peanut Butter

It took me months of living with someone eating peanut-only pb to get used to it, at some point I stopped thinking about how gross it was, and then I tried ye olde sugar pb again after a year and almost gagged. You totally can get used to it.

Some quality of life tricks to make it easier:

  buy multiple jars and store them upside down so gravity can help you start mixing

  mix initially (if you're able) by rapidly rotating the jar in your hand (twisting your forearm), this will get you 90% of the way

  finish off the mix with a knife

  keep the well mixed open jars in the fridge

Also, if the jar is glass (many natural PBs are) then 30 seconds or so in the microwave on first open makes it much, much easier to stir. It will be very runny until it cools and sightly hard to spread, but it will quickly cool on the bread and taste fine.
