Natural vs. regular peanut butter

This recipe calls for natural peanut butter. What's the difference between natural and the regular peanut butter most commonly found on store shelves?

Regular peanut butter usually contains sugar and stabilizers like hydrogenated oil to keep it from separating.

Natural peanut butter is made from 100% peanuts, plus salt. Be sure to refrigerate after opening. The oil will separate from the peanuts - stir the peanut butter just before using.
