To use, simply open the jar and stir the peanut butter if oil separation has occurred. This is a natural process. Then, spread it generously on your favorite bread, crackers, or fruit. It can also be incorporated into sauces for stir-fries, blended into creamy dips, or added to baked goods like cookies and brownies for a nutty flavor and moist texture. For a quick snack, dip apple slices or celery sticks into the smooth spread.
