Instructions: * (I didnt have any so I used a scant 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water)

In the meantime, I tried this recipe for a p**nut butter substitute and could not believe how delicious it was. This is from "Get the Fat Out" and comes highly recommended:
Drain the beans and save the liquid. Roast the beans on a cookie sheet, 350F for 1- 1 1/2 hours. Grind in a processor or blender.

Blend the cornstarch, apple juice concentrate, vanilla and cinnamon in a saucepan. Add the bean liquid and heat, stirring until thickened. Combine with the ground chickpeas to form a peanut butter consistancy. Store in the refrigerator.
