    If you use “natural” or “organic” peanut butter (read, ingredients: peanuts) you’ll want to refrigerate it. It helps keep the oil from separating. It’ll be the consistency of jiff or other sugared brands for most of the jar. I usually take mine out of the fridge when you get towards the bottom so it doesn’t get too hard.

      I seem to be one of the very few people in the world who actually enjoys the ritual of stirring the oil back into the peanut butter.

      Yeah I’ve primarily had JIF creamy peanut butter… no reason in the world why my mother needed to put it into the fridge. I would have to take it out the fridge and wait a few hours before using it.
