Peanut Butter and Jelly Time



I am 64 years old and I still like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Sometimes I like to insert half a banana (sliced) in the middle. I'm a creamy peanut butter guy. I prefer either strawberry jam or plum jam, and I choose white, wheat, or cinnamon-raisin bread. How about y'all? Are you a crunchy pb person? I understand grape jelly is a national favorite. My daughter actually likes pb&j on pumpernickel; I can't take that.

So... any contributions? It's peanut butter jelly time!

1. I agree with your daughter, PB&J on toasted pumpernickel

is the bomb. Works great on cinnamon-raisin too. All natural crunchy peanut butter and Polnars strawberry jam. To be honest I don't keep it in the house as I have the self control of Elf

2. I tried the store brand strawberry jelly a few months ago.

It was horrible. The texture was almost indescribable. It was so thick I could not spread it on my bread or toast. I will stick with the premium stuff henceforth.

Will use any variety of fruit preserves or sliced banana.

Never tried sandwiches with them, though. It's a little pricey and not too easy to source.

Strawberry jelly when available (or jam otherwise) on hot buttered biscuits.

7. If you've never had elderberry jelly in a PB&J, try it! You'll never use any other jelly again!

9. I hate honey, so I guess we're even there.

When I was a kid my mother would make me drink tea with honey when I had a sore throat, and for the first 18 years of my life I thought I hated tea.

My sister offered me tea with sugar when I was of age, and I realized it was the honey I hated. I still drink tea to this day. I don't even have honey in my house.

I'm with you on the banana, though.
