Peanut Butter and Jelly

[smokeetr]

Having an argument with the Wife. When you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Do you put jelly directly on the bread or do you put a thin layer of peanut butter then the jelly? the purpose of the thin layer would be so the jelly doesn't saturate the bread.

The bread does not get soggy if you paint both pieces of bread with peanut butter (or butter), then jelly in the middle.

I suppose it depends on if you're going to eat that sandwich in the next 10 seconds, or 6 hours later. =^..^=

But I prefer the jelly to sink into the bread, tastes better that way. even if it does get a little soggy in the lunch box. Also tastes really good if grilled like a grilled cheese

With your permission I would like to add two more pressing questions...Jam versus jelly and smooth versus crunchy P.B... As for the question P.B first than jam over the P.B.

Cheers.

Peanut butter on one slice and jelly on the other slice and put them together. On the other hand if you are making a PB&J sandwich with a nice toasted English muffin then the peanut utter goes on both halves of the English muffin and the jelly goes on the peanut butter. Gotta let that peanut butter melt into all the nooks and crannies of the nice hot English muffin

Either peanut butter on both slices of bread or peanut butter on one and butter on the other. If doing grilled sandwiches, peanut butter on both.

Smooth peanut butter, never crunchy. And I prefer honey over jam, but sometimes I will make an exception for grape jelly.
Honey goes on the toast or bread first, then the peanut butter on top of the honey.
I'm not saying this is the correct way, just my way.

I have used honey instead of jelly when making a sandwich with toasted raisin bread. And now you have inspired a new idea. Honey, peanut butter on raisin bread and then the sandwich goes in the flipwich sandwich maker and see how that comes out.

I like peanut butter and honey on toast but the honey likes to remain runny. I think I will try putting the honey on first so it can be absorbed into the surface of the toast.

Re: Peanut Butter and Jelly

My 2 cents worth...as I have gotten older, I found I could not eat peanut butter any more, caused some distress, until I found a all natural peanut butter I like, smooth also, and I like mine with honey, or maybe some red plum jelly or jam.
As far as which to put on bread or toast or Eggos even, I put it on all 3 at times, if making a sandwich, I mix them together, making a spread, it is less likely to tear fresh bread, and no soaking of the bread, now my son, likes just peanut butter on bread, no jelly, first time he told me this, I looked at the kid like he was speaking greek to me, but I let it go, and he likes it that way.
And I don't mind stirring the oil back into the peanut butter, stir well, store in fridge.

Re: Peanut Butter and Jelly

Smooth (Jif) and jelly(welches natural grape), after living in Texas I can't do the store bought jam, too weird. Peanut butter on one side slightly mixed with the jelly to keep it from going everywhere. Nutella or honey if I need some variety.

Re: Peanut Butter and Jelly

How about getting real kinky ..Honey butter with grape or strawberry jam on Jewish rye....

Yum...

Re: Peanut Butter and Jelly

Apple jelly or blackberry jam will do. I really like a natural crunchy peanut butter, but at my age the peanuts do not digest well and end up as a butthole irritant the next day, so I keep creamy at my crib.
