How do you make a Peanut Butter/Jelly sandwich? (2 Viewers)

I always spread the jelly on first. Easier to rinse jelly off your knife quickly as opposed to pb. Those who spread the pb first often end up with pb in the jelly jar due to a poor rinse job.

Bought peanut butter today for the first time in awhile. I had been on an almond butter binge, but was craving good ol' PB. What's up with every brand being EXTRA EXTRA crunchy or SUPER crunchy? Don't they just make a moderately crunchy peanut butter anymore? Everything has to be overkill. Too many peanuts makes it feel like you aren't even eating peanut butter anymore.

I'd like to get to the bottom of this travesty.

I usually make it while holding my nose and trying to convince my son to eat a cheese sandwich the next day for lunch.

Crunchy is just pb that isn't finished yet. Try some real pb and you won't have to worry about it. It's never "extra extra smooth!"

Goober grape on two slices. Assemble. Go outside and eat sammich while I tear off the crusts and feed them to birds.

Wow. I think that would check every item on my "how not to make a PB&J" checklist.

Terrible premixed slop? Check

Grape instead of one of the million better flavors? Check

Creamy PB? Check

Removed crusts? Check

Encouraging filthy birds to invade your backyard and #### on everything? Check

I have been on a pb and fresh fruit binge lately (bananas, blueberries, blackberries). whichever fruit I have on hand.

I put PB on my #### once, but it got stuck to the roof of her mouth.

PB/Banana is great.

In lieu of jelly, I also lean more towards honey these days.

I'm no health nut, but it's healthier. It's so much more convenient (unless you go with the squeeze bottle jelly), and doesn't have the overpowering sweetness of the corn syrup with a little fruit juice and pectin mixed in that most jelly has become.

Flavor is perfect with PB and, with some banana, is even better.

 

[the moops]

yep. chunky pb, banana, and honey is where it's at

Voted "PB on one slice, Jelly on the other, push them together". However, I use three slices of bread as follows: 1. PB the top and bottom slice 2. Jelly one side of the middle slice and place it (jelly-side down) on the bottom slice 3. Jelly the remaining side of the middle slice 4. Place top slice (PB-side down) on top

This is close to being right, the correct way is:

1) Toast 3 slices of bread

2) PB on slice #1

3) Jelly on slice #2 placed on top of slice #1, Jelly facing down

4) PB on slice #2, facing up

5) Jelly on slice #3 placed on top facing down

Quality of sandwich > having to use 2 knives so as to not to get PB in the Jelly or vice versa.

I didn't have any bread one night, so I just put a couple of spoonfuls of peanut butter in a small dish, top with jam, and eat with a spoon. Satisfied my sweet tooth.

How do you guys balance jelly making bread soggy with not enjoying PBJ on toast?

Seems like this has been a conundrum for decades.

 

[Vike Me]

Option A, I'm not a psycho.

Thin layer of PB on both sides of toast and put the jelly in the middle?

I've never done it this way, but I'd think the PB would prevent the jelly's moisture from absorbing into the bread.

 

[FlapJacks]

I voted for the first option, and anything else would be un-American and therefore just plain wrong.
