It would probably be much easier to deal with in a jar. I kneaded the packet to kind of mix it before opening, but it wasn't enough. It was still very separated, with the oily part spilling out all over, and the thicker part hard to squeeze out, so it was pretty messy. And the color is very unappealing. But DS and I tried it on crackers, and the flavor is good. So aside from the unappetizing color, it would be good in the jar.
