November is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month and lovers in and around Conshy are lucky to have Edwards Freeman Nut Company located right on Hector Street.  Edwards Freeman Nut Company makes its own peanut and other nut butters every week.  Not only do they have traditional salted, unsalted and chunky versions of peanut butter, but they also have chocolate, kick’in hot, butterscotch and cappuccino versions.

Edwards-Freeman Nut Company has been existence for over 100 years and based in Conshy since 1959 when the construction of I-95 forced their relocation.

Below is a recipe to help the peanut lovers celebrate:

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Mousse
