Refrigerating Natty PB

[RLP71586]

Is it really necessary to refrigerate natty pb. It says to on the jar, but when I put the stuff in the refrigerator it makes it kind of hard and tough to spread. Would it just go bad a little faster if I didn't stick it in there or what?

If you don't, it will seperate again. Here's a blurb I found on the Kraft web site.

Kraft All Natural

How does Canada's favourite peanut butter brand create the rich roasted taste in new All Natural Peanut Butter? We select only quality peanuts and roast them to perfection before blending and sealing fresh in the jar. Best of all, its low in saturated fat, free of cholesterol, lactose and gluten.

With All Natural Peanut Butters the oil separation naturally occurs. For best texture, stir thoroughly when you get the product home from the store then keep refrigerated to avoid separation. You can keep it at room temperature (no safety issues), however you'll have to stir it each time to blend the oils. Enjoy!

Once you stir it, turn it upside down and put it in the fridge. The oil tries to rise to the top so since the majority of the oil is by the lid, turn it upside down, my good ol grammy taught me that one. Thanks grammy.

Good tip Rev - never thought of that. Thank you grammy.

BTW I thought all grammy's did Skippy or Jiff or something. Either she's really old fashioned or way ahead of her time .
