And I've yet to not like it on almost anything... including bananas, apples, ice-cream and in African Chicken peanut soup! I have tried many brands and I liked them all... but Jiff's natural is my favorite.

I love peanut butter, but I'm also a chocolate spread freak and last week the supermarket were out of my usual treat, so I ordered a jar of Gu instead (it's got umlauts over the u), chocolate and salted caramel spread. Palm oil free and yummy (if you like that sort of thing). But here's the thing, it comes in a nice clear glass half tumbler with straight sides, no awkward corners. When you've eaten it all you can keep the tumbler which is quite heavy with a thick bottom to it. It's also got one of those flexible lids that can be used again, I was well pleased. And no, I'm not being paid by them! (but I wouldn't turn down a few jars if they'd like to send them....).Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741069217480207333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-69428098279136024692021-03-30T10:53:05.820+01:002021-03-30T10:53:05.820+01:00I shall try Frank Coopers - I always have Tiptree ...I shall try Frank Coopers - I always have Tiptree and love that - but shall go on your recommenation for a change.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-282776297164820982021-03-30T10:53:05.531+01:002021-03-30T10:53:05.531+01:00It amazes me at the number of large American farms...It amazes me at the number of large American farms being bought out by the Chinese.
