Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwiches

xoxyx · 26-09-2011 8:01pm

I had one, once. Some early hour at a house party when everything that resembled food was gone, other than peanut butter (which I hadn't tasted since I was a child - and I didn't like it at the time), strawberry jam, and some bread in the freezer which I painstakingly defrosted in the microwave and then cooled in the freezer. It took about an hour to make, but the results were frigging amazing!!!

An alternative that I've discovered since is cheese and honey on toasted bread. C&HTB sandwich. Couldn't recommend it more strongly.

Ah yeah, seedless jam

No, not quite - it's completely clear, without fruit either, seedless or otherwise. I saw it being made a few times in rural farms where they make their own - the juice is strained off and the fruit is set aside and used for something else like pies. The jelly is made only from the juice. Jam is made from the fruit and the juice.

I accept defeat sir, your knowledge of preserves is far superior to mine.

But they still spell colour wrong.

I love Peanut Butter and Jam sandwiches. I never liked peanuts or peanut butter until around a year ago, but I can't get enough of them now.

The Smooth American Style Peanut Butter from Lidl is my favourite, with a little Strawberry Jam and butter on the other side.

Sounds disgusting, but I'm always open to trying new things so I'm off to make one .....

An american friend brought me Welchs Grape Jam which he claims is the only jelly to have on one of these, its not my thing really!

Would you not just have toasted the bread?

castletownman · 26-09-2011 8:28pm

Sliced cheese and jam sandwiches are where it's at!

One of those combinations that you'd think wouldn't work but they so do.....

DjFlin · 26-09-2011 8:28pm

Ate it all the time as a kid. Peanut butter + Chocolate spread too.

looksee · 26-09-2011 8:32pm

Peanut butter is almost impossible to eat without a light topping of jam or jelly or honey. Toast with the above combination. Or brown soda bread. Yum.

tan11ie · 26-09-2011 8:33pm

It was f***ing gorgeous!! I was obviously a deprived child i only got sugar sandwiches:(

Was that your first peanut butter sandwich or just your first time putting jam/jelly with it? What way did you enjoy peanut butter before, seeing as you have it in your house?

coffee_cake · 26-09-2011 10:30pm

peanut butter and jam sandwiches are LOVELY

pinkhop · 26-09-2011 11:09pm

Peanut butter and honey is the nicest!

I love peanut butter and jam, tesco have a delicious one with no sugar, just delicious salty goodness. I have it on brown toast every morning, it is high in calories but its good fat.

I thought pb&j sounded gross but was talking on an american forum about a year ago and people were on about them so said id try it, delicious.

Never liked peanut butter until recently, noticed it on special offer in the local so picked it up and slap it on rich tea biscuits ..yum.

Tesco chunky peanut butter, bon maman strawberry jam on a hot slice of toast.

Om nom nom...

Peanut butter and jelly is akin to our ham sandwich Stateside, the staple school lunch. Never heard it called 'jam' in all the years there.

Our eldest child, an American, can't get enough of them. The rest of us wouldn't touch them.

Peanut butter... The butter of gods.

Peanut butter & ham sambos kept me going in school for 15 years..

Peanut butter & cucumber is good as well :-)

Peanut butter and blackcurrant jam sambos. Get them inside you.

Peanut butter and banana sambos are deadly too. Very filling.

Irish Guitarist · 27-09-2011 12:37pm

I've never had one.

I just had what I thought was a great idea though. I was going to buy some jars of peanut butter and jars of jam, mix them together in one jar and sell them to people that were too lazy to open two jars. I looked it up though and it's already been done.

I used to put kit-kats into peanut butter sandwiches... ah who am I kidding, I still do, and it's the nicest thing I've ever tasted!

I'm gonna make some.

I wish I knew everything.

My wife kindly made them for me today after seing this thread. I had one today. Or should I say a bite of one.

Nuff said.

I'm gonna smear the peanut butter on my snickers to use it up.

I said snickers.

Chunky peanut butter, sliced banana and honey on toast is soooooo nice

Sometimes I just get a spoonful of peanut butter, a drizzle of honey and dip it in a bag of shredded coconut. Good when you are watching carbs (go easy on the honey)
