BTW, there is a HUGE difference between peanut butter made just from
peanuts and a jar of Jiff. Processed peanut butter typically has
hydrogenated oils, not good.

Some markets sport all-natural peanut butters. They usually separate in the
jar; you'll see a thick layer of clear peanut oil on top of the butter, and
it must be stirred back together before use. Once reunited and refrigerated
it won't separate again, at least not for several years. (Or, I suppose,
you could pour off the oil and just use the peanut sludge. I've never tried
that.)

Here is an excerpt from the label on my favorite brand:

Ingredients: Peanuts, Salt
