Peanuts Throue
Besides making an excellent sand
witch filling, peanut butter can be used
to give flavor to a number of dishes
that are cheap, easy to make, and very
wholesome. The butter" which real
ly Is just finely ground peanuts to
which salt has been added, can be
made at home very easily by putting
freshly roasted peanuts through a
meat grinder after the red skins have
been removed from them. The ma
chine should be adjusted to grind as
fine as possible. If salt is added to
the nuts before they are ground ii is
generally mixed in more thoroughly.

mended by home economics specialists
