Cheats Home made Peanut Butter
Ilove salted peanuts. To date though I haven't found any quite like I used to have when I was a child. The closest so far has to be Julian Graves. My grandfather used to buy ready salted peanuts fresh off the market in Lincoln, used to bring them home put them in a screw top jar (usually an old horlicks jar washed out and dried with the nuts being decanted into the jar). He then used to pop them down by the side of the open coal fire (latterly the log burner).The heat from the fire and the log burner used to help release the oils in the nuts so they kinda self-lubricated and were always scrummy. Pop always used to have a few each day after supper. We used to be given some of this treasure every time we went, and child like we used to wait for Pop to dish up the salted peanuts they were special a treat and we only got them at Pop's. The flavour lovely warm and pungent, they have left such an imprint on my mind and palate. As a result I am very fond of peanut butter - no...
