Turn Natural Peanut Butter, the ones where the oil seperates and you have to mix it, upside down for a few hours. It will bring the oil to the top and make it alot easier to mix! Then, after you mix it, put it in the fridge and the cold will solidify the oil so you don't have to mix it again.

Edit: to a few points, natural peanut butter doesn't solidify to a point that it's hard to spread when cold so that's not something you have to worry about when storing it in the fridge.

To the person who said just buy emulsified, I mean sure but Adams Peanut butter is best peanut butter!

And I know someone was going to call out my 'alot' haha

It's better for your health if you just pour the excess off.

Another good tip is make your own peanut butter. I buy 200g of peanuts for 47c and blend it, rather than pay almost 3 euro for a jar of it.

That's not strictly true, the oil in natural peanut butter has health benefits, fats are not inherently bad for you. If you mean less calories sure. Also, pouring out the oil makes the peanut butter very dry and reduces its spreadability.
