I never understood the American fondness for peanut butter. A long time ago I tried the Jif brand and I found it awful. But considering that it can be healthy in small doses, I decided to give it another try, and following my MIL's suggestion I got a "natural" version.

I made this White Chocolate Berry Cheesecake for a barbecue last year. It really wasn't that hard to make and was so delicious that people kept asking me where I bought it! Here is the recipe.
