Store In A Cool And Dry Place

Your peanut butter can stay edible for a while if kept in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and the sun. Homemade peanut butter can remain fresh for approximately two to three weeks when kept at room temperature under ideal circ*mstances.

Refrigeration is not necessary and may make the product difficult to spread. Natural peanut butters that do not contain any stabilizers, like our Smucker's 'Adams' and 'Laura Scudder's' natural peanut butter products, are typically best stored at room temperature whether opened or unopened.”
