I used to love JIF. You could give me some extra-crunchy, a butter knife and two slices of bread and I would be in heaven. But then one day my wife came home with some brand of all natural peanut butter and some story about how trans fatty acids are bad for us (I admit they don't sound good). From that day, JIF became the second thing I most love which was declared bad for me (bagels being first).
But I'll give anything a try.
"O.K.," my wife said, "the first thing you have to do is stir it." I opened it up and I could see something that looked like peanut butter under about an inch of oil. I grabbed a butter knife and started stirring. The oil and something like peanut butter (but definitely not like any good peanut butter I had ever had) started flowing over the edges of the jar and dripping onto the counter. At this point I had some weird looking concoction that was making a mess of my kitchen and the jar.
Even Jiffy was better than this.
Then somebody sent us the Witmer Peanut Butter Mixer. It has an alternate cover that you twist onto the top of the jar (just like the jar's regular cover). The stirrer slides through a slot in the top. You crank it a few times, pull the stirrer out, open the cap and you are ready to go. It is easy to clean and costs less than $10. It can't be beat (but it can be stirred). (Sorry, it's late.)
