Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Jelly!




We have some friends who make peanut butter. 
First you take the nuts and crunch 'em, crunch 'em…

Since I’m the kind of gal that loves to buy fresh, 
local products, the Mudaala’s peanut butter business makes me smile. When we want peanut butter, we just send our request via a phone message or a friend. We even have options—fluffy (crunchy) or smooth. Within two or three days, our peanut butter is delivered at our door. One kg of fresh, nutty butter is about $4 USD.

The jelly, on the other hand…
Well, let’s just say it’s too bad the Jam Man of Mangochi doesn't live close by.

Considering the ease of making good jam and jelly, and the abundance of it we have back home in Michigan, the Mixed Fruit Jam at Spar (ingredients: fruit in season, sugar, pectin, citric acid, permitted colouring, sodium benzoate) is pathetic! How can jam not taste like jam? Trust me. Sugar and flavor can’t compare to the real stuff... 

next you take the berries and squish 'em, squish 'em!

  1. peanut butter muffins? Is this something new or have I just not heard about it before? I'm glad you can get fresh bp. You'll just have to find some fresh fruit to make your own jam. Do you remember me telling you about the hot (spicy) peanut butter I ate in Haiti?
