Unopened fruit spreads can typically be stored in a cool, dark place like a pantry at room temperature. Once opened, refrigeration is essential to prevent spoilage. Always use a clean utensil when scooping out the spread to avoid introducing bacteria. Properly sealed and refrigerated, opened fruit spreads can last for several weeks to months, but it's always best to check for any signs of mold or off odors before consuming.
