(there was no mention of putting jar in fridge, I did check, honest!)
I have a cupboard for jars of stuff like this plus sugar, coffee, tea, herbal teas, soya sauce, yeast, baking powder etc etc - I never intended poor peanut butty boy to have to live there on his own!
If I am dead tomorrow, you will all know that eating yonks old peanut butter is NOT a good idea...

I am sure it will be fine - I keep mine in the cupboard usually - it has to share as well! I tend to try things like that on the kids first - I kind of see them as my official tasters!! Now you are making me hungry, but I would need to add some jam to the peanut butter, otherwise it sticks to the roof of your mouth.
Yup, No 1 son has peanut butter, jam and honey all together - I haven't been tempted to try it! He has tried to add cheese as well, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Other favourite combos are banana and HP sauce or crisps and HP sauce. Trust that you are still well after your antique peanut butter.
During the days of rationing in WWII, my father brought home from somewhere a 28lb tin of Sunpat peanut butter!
It took us something like two years to finish, and we had no fridge in those days. Didn't do any of us any harm!
Of course, folk were hardier in those days, like with Heinz Tomato Ketchup labels omitting to say that it should be refrigerated after opening!

Hi heathfield was there some particular incident with ketchup then? The labels now tell you to keep it in the fridge, but I am pretty sure that they didn't used to. I figured it is because they are now putting less additives in food - including preservatives which mean that more of it needs to be kept refridgerated. My mum still comes from the old school and doesn't keep much in her fridge and has pretty much no use for use by dates - as long as it doesn't smell or is covered in green hairy muck she just eats it. We tend to go out to eat when we visit!

That sounds digusting vivandorron - No 1 son wanted salami and banana for his sandwich in his packed lunch this morning - he is 7 btw - He only relented when I told him the banana would go yucky by lunchtime if it was on his sandwich. He has taken peppered salami on his sandwich, and a banana in his lunchbox, so i can imagine that he will experiment at lunchtime! He likes lots of strong flavoured and spicy foods e.g. curry, chilli, peppered mackerel, blue cheese etc. No 2 son on the other hand likes really plain food - more of meat and 2 veg type of guy.
Sun pat peanut butter just contains peanuts so it's unlikely to be perishable. I'm guessing other brands are similar.
As for ketchup in the fridge, one word - heathens!
It's a terrible idea, besides it being really cold in your mouth it changes it's flavour. No tomatoes should be kept in the fridge, the cold detroys some of their flavour.
Info on labels are often just safety measures for the company, if you followed them all you'd be neurotic.
