Shea butter is a thick, moisturizing butter extracted from the pit of the fruit from the karite tree (Butyrospermum parkii) found in West and Central Africa. Similar to cocoa butter in consistency, shea butter is a wonderful emollient that can be used straight on the skin to help heal cracked and damaged skin.

First the raw, shelled peanut is roasted and cooled, then the skins are blanched. The blanched peanut kernels are electronically sorted or hand picked to be sure only good, wholesome kernels are used in peanut butter. The peanuts are ground, usually through two grinding stages, to produce a smooth, even-textured butter. The peanuts are heated during the grinding to about 170 degrees. Once the emulsifiers are added and mixed, the butter is cooled rapidly to 120 degrees or below.

The recipes posted to this group are not kitchen tested to ensure they are valid recipes and work. They are checked for stylistic and subject content only and for the most part they are posted AS they have been received. It it appears to be a valid, cookable recipe, we post it.

Also remember we are people with lives, families, jobs and unanticipated life events which may interfere with moderation

Many recipes passed down through the years or found in older cookbooks do not include instructions for processing. The foods are usually canned by the open kettle method, sealed and stored. Foods prepared in this manner present a serious health risk — particularly low acid foods. To minimize the risk of food spoilage, all high acid foods should be processed in a water bath canner or pressure canner and all low acid foods in a pressure canner.
