it occurs to me the issue with the PB and then J on top is the whole neatness thing, that has to be a mess to make and it causes PB in the J

HOWEVER

when i make toast with jam, I put butter on the toast and then put the jam on the butter

I am doing the same thing, just with butter not peanut butter

am I a hypocrite?

am I some sort of legume-o-phobe?

my world is crumbling....

There is only one acceptable answer - JIF peanut butter on both slices of bread, Smuckers preserves on one slice, mash together, enjoy deliciousness.

Creamy is preferred for sandwiches, Chunky can be used on toast.

Not skilled enough to spread chunky without ripping the bread I see. Don't be ashamed, there are others like you I think.

 

[JerseyToughGuys]

I never even considered option B

I use blackberry jam

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

Nope...Smuckers Natural Chunky. Ingredients: Peanuts, salt.And I use black raspberry preserves.

chunky sucks

get the #### out

chunky peanut butter was invented by peanut buter big wigs as a money saving shortcut.I am pretty sure the communists started it

Same thing with pulp in Orange Juice

NO YOU ARE COMMUNIST~!@

 

[Dr. Gobbler]

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

Try Santa Cruz dark roasted natural pb.

Its a skill I never fully developed. I blame the fact that I moved twice while I was in 1st grade, and missed out on PB&J making in all three schools.

I'm with Sinn on the chunky on toast part, but it doesn't have to do with the bread ripping. I have mastered that skill in case I don't have a choice. I think it has more to do with the crunch feeling a bit out of place inside a soft sandwich, while it is perfect inside a crisp one.

You people seriously ate a PBJ sammich after turning 10?

Add some potato chips in the middle!

PB on each slice then jelly

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.

Hot gooey PB is $$$$$. Tried it with banana this year. Gonna try it with bacon in January.

Jesus...really? Most pulp is the best OJ.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Meh - the key is adding some heat to the salt and sweet. I use a lot of hot pepper flakes as an easy add. Other easy adds

- hoison sauce

- rooter sause shots

- chipotle powder

Seriously ...try it. Its the Thai concept expect for the bitter.

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.

 

[Tau837]

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?

How many slaves do you own?Why do you hate progress?

 

[pollardsvision]

I, too, subscribe to the PB on both slices method.

Must be natural chunky PB. For those that can't go natural and chunky without tearing the bread, get better bread. It's okay to eat a kid's sandwich, but there's no reason to eat kid's bread (though I'm not sure why kids eat that crap either).

 

[Dentist]

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.

All of this & you wipe the knife clean on the other piece of bread.

Correct, also you do PB first and wipe it on the soon to be jam side.

Trying to space out the fun or are you really this structured? I say go nuts and try the bacon in December [crazy-talk].

This, but I don't smash them together, I eat them open-faced. More of a chance the jelly dribbles out if you smash them together.And bread must be toasted.

PB on both slices. Jelly on one of them. Push together. Creates a nice sealed barrier to keep the jelly inside.

I don't get the peanut butter on both slices. How do you taste the jelley with both sides of your mouth caked in peanut butter?

 

[bleachercreacher]

I mix the peanut butter and jelly together in a bowl before putting it on the bread.

I don't get it either, but do you think the jelly magically stays between the PB in your mouth?

Maybe the ratio of PB to jelly is too high.

It's going to be too high if your putting pb on both slices.

 

[Novice2]

I don't. :X

 

[trogg78]

I also really like where the jelly meets the bread. You don't get that with pb on both slices. You guys antler missing out. Damn I would like pb&j. I haven't been eating them since they are pretty high in calories and I'm staying away from bread.

Seriously, my grandmother used to do this when I was a kid and her PB and J's were so much better than my mom's. My mom said mixing it up was a waste of time and wouldn't do it. When I got a little older I finally realized that it was because my grandmother used Jif, while my mom grabbed whatever cheap off brand she found that day.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

As long as you use Knott's Boysenberry jam, it will turn out great!

Hot, runny pb is disgusting. You gotta keep the pb at room temp or refrigerated.

PB&J is great just about any way, but I also like PB & apple butter! Try it and thank me later.
