Sunbutter - by Gayelord Hauser

"This is a recipe for something called Sunbutter - first published in 1951in Gayelord Hauser's New Treasury of Secrets. For those of you who don't know Hauser, he was largely responsible for creating the American Health Food industry - a close friend of Marlene Dietrich., he lived a glamorous life every bit as exciting as the starlets who flocked to surround him - and he was his own best advertisement - he outlived them all LOL! My mother loved this recipe first because she couldn't stand margarine - and second because it extended butter which was expensive, and also because it improved butter's fat profile by reducing the cholesterol and sat fats. It is a great recipe - and nice to have in the fridge... it spreads nicely and can be, as the original recipe stated: "For Variety, spike mixture with vegetable salt, your favorite herbs, or fresh garlic" Enjoy!"
