My mother and I have this debate on peanut butter. Once you've opened your peanut butter where do you put it...in the refrigerator or in the pantry?

To protect us...I won't tell you where we keep ours...since this is more of a "where do you keep it".

Thank you so much.

I found this for you on this website:

http://homecooking.about.com/od/foodstorage/a/pbutterstorage.htm

"Peanut Butter Storage

Homemade peanut butter should be refrigerated in tightly-sealed containers and ideally used within a couple of weeks. Turn the container upside-down occasionally to help redistribute the oils.

Natural peanut butters should be refrigerated after opening and can be kept up to six months.

Commercial varieties require no refrigeration, can be kept up to six months after opening. Unopened jars can be stored up to one year in a cool, dark location.

Peanut butter is not a good candidate for freezing."

Hope that helps.

Well, I have always placed an open jar of peanut butter in the fridge. Especially if you tend to eat directly from it with a spoon for a quick snack...

i always have kept mine in the pantry, it doesn't have to be refrigerated plus it makes it to hard to spread when cold, it might stay fresher longer though, but in our house it goes so fast, no need to worry about that lol

I keep it in the refrigerator - if it is in the pantry the oil starts separating and that is yucky.

Pantry. It will keep about three months there. However, if you are using "Natural" peanut butter, it should be refrigerated.
