Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches

[rousseau]

In the past week or two I've started back on PB & Js, hadn't had one in a long time. Turns out it took me until my thirties to make one properly: with an enormous amount of both peanut butter and jelly.

This thread is here to discuss your PB & J preferences, and all other issues surrounding this type of sandwich.

Heavy PB/Medium Nutella, with a leaf of lettuce.

edit to add: Yes, on toast; preferably grain/multi-grain of some sort.

What about the bread? It has to be a whole grain cewy kind.

PP on toast with coffee is one of the finest eating experiences in the world.

 

[Cheerful Charlie]

Heavy peanut butter but no jelly. On Rye bread. Or on a slice of french bread, and broiled in the oven until the peanut butter just begins to scorch a little. Or peanut butter on Ritz crackers.

 

[Bronzeage]

Heavy peanut butter, heavy Bama strawberry preserves.

Heavy? Light? Kind of subjective, don't you think?
Doesn't everyone think his personal preference is moderate/moderate?

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Needs to be preserves, need the chunks of strawberries... or at least what is left of them. Peanut butter needs to be crunchy, otherwise, wasting valuable bread.

Not me! The more jam the merrier. I love jam.

That would have been most unkind.

Ah, but throwing a jar of vegemite into a discussion of things that taste good... such a shock to the system.

I like Santa Cruz creamy peanut butter and Bonne Maman jelly. Raspberry jelly is probably my favorite but since I've been buying Bonne Maman, I've been edging toward their blueberry. I like crunchy peanut butter just fine but I go through it faster. Then I have to stir another jar. It's just too much. I've got enough on my plate already. I had considered a peanut butter stirrer but the cleaning of it looks to be more involved. Overall, I think I'm better off sticking with the butter knife for stirring.
I'm still making PB&J with these presumed healthy breads. I should stop that. PB&J is best on soft white bread and smashed down flat. It's been decades since I've done that. PB&J on a white bagel is good and very filling. It's lunch on the go all by itself.

How thick of a layer? Just enough so it doesn't squeeze out the other side.
