PB & J Without the Sugar

Monday, October 11, 2010

Lately, I've been trying to find good replacements for the foods that typically have added sugar. My latest accomplishment is Peanut Butter & Jelly. I didn't have any gluten free bread here, so I just mixed the 2 in a bowl and savored every single delicious bite.

I've tried a few natural peanut butters (nothing but peanuts), and they've been too thick, too gritty, or too overwhelming to make a decent sandwich. On a whim, I bought Crazy Richard's natural peanut butter. Crazy Richard's? Seriously? It didn't sound like a "natural" item, but I'll admit I've been wrong before. Ingredients: peanuts. The oil had separated, but after a good stirring it was smooth and creamy, and it mixed deliciously with Smucker's Simply Fruit. Fruit spreads are sweetened with concentrated fruit syrups instead of regular sugar. So far, I've tried blueberry and raspberry and have loved them both.
