That brings up an interesting question: what does using a product like Jif (or any prepared food item that's got salt, oils, chemicals, etc. in it do to a recipe compared to, as in this case, making peanut butter with just peanuts?
Are the more contemporary recipes designed to accomodate prepared foods? How much might results change when using fresh made natural ingredients?
