How do you make a Peanut Butter/Jelly sandwich? (1 Viewer)

[trogg78]

Add potato chips.

 

[Godsbrother]

Option B.Why the hell would you put the jelly directly on the bread? You people are screwy.

 

[Marc Levin]

No fritos in the middle?FAIL

Or potato chips?flaVVed.ETA:

Add potato chips.

You guys realize that when you put the pieces of bread together that the jelly actually ends up touching the bread, right?

 

[GroveDiesel]

It's peanut butter jelly time!

 

[Marc Levin]

Serious question for the 'B' people: how do you ensure proper jelly distribution over the entire sandwich? Maybe I'll have to try this god-forsaken method just to find out what a hellish concoction it creates. If I'm not back by morning, call the police.

I like the inconsistent jelly distribution, which is why I do it that way. I like a couple of bites to be more PB than J and a couple other bites to be the opposite.To be honest, there is no wrong way to make this simple masterpiece, but you must make it yourself. Watching someone else make it is one of the more infuriating things ever. I can be in the absolute crappiest mood, and I make one of these little guys for myself and I am three years old again (I was a damn happy three-year-old).

[Big Blue Wrecking Crew]

When at home, I opt for the "open face" version, with PB on both slices, then jelly on each slice.

On the road, I prepare the same way, then put the slices together, to keep the bread from getting soggy as noted by others.

"The peanut is neither a pea nor a nut. Oh wait, it is a nut." - Franklin Sherman

The peanut, or Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), is a species in the legume family Fabaceae native to South America, Mexico and Central America. [1] It is an annual herbaceous plant growing to 30 to 50 cm (1 to 1½ ft) tall. The leaves are opposite, pinnate with four leaflets (two opposite pairs; no terminal leaflet), each leaflet 1 to 7 cm (⅜ to 2¾ in) long and 1 to 3 cm (⅜ to 1 inch) broad. The flowers are a typical peaflower in shape, 2 to 4 cm (¾ to 1½ in) across, yellow with reddish veining. After pollination, the fruit develops into a legume 3 to 7 cm (1 to 2 in) long containing 1 to 4 seeds, which forces its way underground to mature.

The plant's name combines the morphemes pea and nut, causing some confusion as to the nature of the fruit. Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the peanut plant is a woody, indehiscent legume and not a nut. The word pea describes the edible seeds of many other legumes in the Fabaceae family, and in that sense, a peanut is a kind of pea.

Peanuts are also known as earthnuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, jack nuts, pinders, manila nuts and monkey balls. (The last of these is often used to mean the entire pod, not just the seeds. In the UK these are sold as monkey nuts.)

I always stir the jelly while still in the jar to make it smooth, so it's easy to spread on any surface.

 

[Jackstraw]

It really doesn't matter. The critical item for PB and J is a proper ratio of peanut butter to Jelly. Most people are about 1:1 but I like mine about 1:1.3 or so.

 

[Alias]

Peanut butter on both and jelly inbetween. Kids always had jelly soaked bread at lunch and mine was protected by the peanut butter.

That is why you toast it!

You cant toast it and save it for later. That is worse than jelly infused bread.

 

[Hoh]

If the layer of peanut butter is not greater than or equal to the layer of mortar between bricks, it isnt a sandwich yet.

Would you eat it in a box?

 

[riverrat]

Use a different utinsel for each, or you may contaminate the jelly and cause it to mold.

You highlighted the wrong part. This is the interesting part...

PB on each slice then jelly

smash together

marg/butter on the outside

fry like a grilled cheese in a pan until outside is brown and PB is soft and runny

dunk in chocolate milk when eating.

oo-y goo-y goodness.

Hmmmm, I might have to try this. Never had a grilled PB&J.

Can we skip the dunk in chocolate milk part? :X

 

[Mister CIA]

Toasting the bread or even a little grilling of this sandwich (not too much or the insides will melt and run everywhere)... makes this sandwich divine.

I also dig peanut butter and jelly on Graham crackers.

I like the milk part, but I'll skip the chocolate.

 

[Dr. Gobbler]

I know this sounds a bit odd. I do one standard one slice pb and one slice jelly but then I put a slice of american cheese on the pb and fried jalapeno slices (or fresh/jarred - whatever I have on the jelly side (holds them in place). Then must have lots of chips and cold milk. An easy way to go is with jalapeno jelly though.

Not sure about the cheese, never tried it but I find I enjoy my pb&j moreso with either cheesy or spicy chips so you may be on to something. My style is thick organic pb on one side and then thin amount on the other piece/side then organic strawberry preserves on the thin side. Maybe some sliced banana in there too if I'm feeling crazy.

pfffffft....you pay more for the delivery system which wastes preserves and doesn't spread right. Prefer Welch's myself but that's another discussion. to Doc Gobbler's PB&Banana. Hadn't tried it with strawberry preserves but that sounds like a winner too.

 

[FUBAR]

For me: PB both sides, jelly on top of one, push together.

For the kids: light layer of PB on one side, lighter layer of jelly on the other, push together. Slice into triangles.

 

[ODoyleRules]

Koogle (banana flavor) + grape jelly on white bread.

 

[Bull Dozier]

Peanut butter on 1 side of each slice. Jelly on 2 sides of another slice. Smash together. Triple decker.

You just blew my mind.

 

[Spike]

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

Also, it is very important to wipe the knife clean between the peanut butter and the jelly. It is not acceptable to have peanut butter in the jelly jar or vice versa.

Oh yeah, and I use jam, not jelly. Easier to spread and stays in the sandwich better.

Yup. The way to do it is to put the jelly on first, then wipe the "excess" jelly on the slice of bread that you'll put the peanut butter on, then put the peanut butter on the second slice of bread. It's too tough to get all the peanut butter off the knife if you do it the other way around.

I use blackberry jam

and if you are not using Jif peanut butter you are doing it wrong

[Idiot Boxer]

1. There should be no cross contamination in either of the containers. Ensure that and I don't care how you apply it.

2. Natural Peanut butter isn't fit for dogs

3. Nutella is a great change up for jelly/jam

4. Creamy peanut butter is superior to chunky, but chunky has its place. Unless it is natural chunky, in which case, why not just eat a freaking bag of peanuts and some grapes you communist *******.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

I lied about #1 above. Mixing the PB&J in a separate bowl is ridiculous and anyone caught doing so should be curb stomped.

 

[CrossEyed]

2. Natural Peanut butter isn't fit for dogs

When our forefathers created the peanut butter and jelly sandwich they never dreamed that the peanut butter would include fully hydrogenated vegetable oils (rapeseed and soybean), mono and diglycerides.Why do you hate America?

OK, I admit that I've tasted some pretty lousy natural peanut butter. But Smuckers is fantastic.
