As an American I think this is really sweet to see people trying peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the first time. ☺️👍 greetings from the US!

[@RavenSoulcatcher]

I recommend Smucker's Grape Jam. Jams are made with the juice and pulp while jelly is made with filtered juice. We pack PB&Jam sandwiches for outings to the park or when we go gem mining...but we mix the PB and Jam together (3T PB to 2T Jam) before adding it to the bread. It makes them less messy and it kind of does change the flavor because it is blended. We also, instead of Jam, we used Marshmallow Fluff or Honey or Apple Butter or Strawberry/Raspberry Jam.

[@camwhitman5425]

Skippy super chunk is the best. It’s great on a freshly toasted bread slice so that the peanut butter melts.

Yeah... a bit weird that they have a selection of three types of peanut butter, but only the one jar of jelly. Where's the strawberry and raspberry jelly and jam selection? Really the only selection in peanut butter should be creamy or crunchy.

[@CBB672]

I prefer strawberry jelly

[@CBB672]

To much jelly

[@georgedominguez255]

😂😅😊

[@DannaShaffer]

For those outside of the US, the main difference between jam and jelly is that jelly doesn’t have any fruit bits in it at all. The fruit is strained out before finishing it into its gelatinous form. So it’s easier for picky eaters to eat, really. Kids here prefer jelly over jam because the texture is more pleasing. Also, I feel like the chocolate one doesn’t count as a normal peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If you’re eating a PB&J you just choose between creamy or crunchy peanut butter and that’s it. And it’s not just a kids food. We all love a PB&J every now and then.

[@CarolBurke-ig2lb]

As an adult, I now toast the bread, yum.

[@dennissvitak5475]

Depends on where you grew up. In my area, PRESERVES had fruit pulp, while both jam and jellies did not.

There are 3 different textures: jelly, made from just the juice…jam, made from the whole fruit but well blended to be smooth though thicker than jelly…preserves, made with the whole fruit but not blended all the way and has some fruit chunks in it.

And if you're out of jelly/jam/preserves, or if you just want to be a bit adventurous, with a bit more healthy sweet taste, use honey instead of any of them. A peanut butter and honey sandwich is a great taste. Especially since honey is a healthier sweet taste than the jelly is.

[@Meriale46]

As an American Mom, I raised my children on PB&J just as my Mom raised me. The beauty of Peanut Butter is you can eat it with any Jelly, Jam, or preserves that you like. My favorites are Raspberry and Strawberry preserves... You can eat it on toast just by itself, on celery, or apples, have it with Nutella, and of course chocolate. People tend to believe that "Natural Peanut Butter is healthier but if you check the labels some have as much sugar as regular and it doesn't really matter if you buy Jif, Skippy, Peter Pan, Reese's, Smuckers, or store brand. I've bought them all and ate them all and there really isn't much of a difference in taste. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are not just for kids. I'm 63 and I still eat them every week as do my adult children. If something tastes as good as a PB&J don't let the kids have all the yummy stuff. hahaha, And they're perfectly served with an ice-cold glass of milk. There's no better combination.

[@MacTX]

PB&J is a mixture of comfort, quick, inexpensive, filling, and tasty all in one. A full glass of cold whole milk to wash it down afterwards too. For me, it's always smooth natural peanut butter (contains just peanuts and salt) and strawberry preserves (contains lots of strawberry chunks).

American categories: Jelly - Gelatin and Pectin mix made with only the juices of the fruit/berry Jam - has more pulp in it, but generally no whole pieces of fruit/berry Preserves - much more fruit/berry pieces, can even have whole pieces of fruits/berries Marmalade - very similar to Jam, but Marmalade usually includes some type of citrus added into the blend

Growing up in the 60’ & 70’s, peanut butter and jelly (jam is my preference,) it was a sandwich that you could keep in your lunchbox without refrigeration. Inexpensive, delicious and fresh. Yes just about every kid had PB&J sandwiches. I never heard of any of my friends having a peanut allergy. That would be horrific for us kids back then. 😮 I’m now retired and still enjoy a tasty PB&J at any time of day or night. Sometimes on toasted bread. Occasionally on wheat or toasted wheat bread. I always had a loaf of wheat bread and a jar of each, creamy Skippy & Welch’s Grape Jam at work. That was because my boss would bug me until I gave him the one I brought from home. He’d ask me to make him a triple decker. But he’d always pay for our lunch whenever we ordered out. He’d say, You fly, I buy.” Best boss ever.

When I have to drive to my second job and I only have a short time to get there, I make a PB&J for the road, rather than take time to eat heated food with a fork. And last, I often will do PB&J on crackers instead of bread: A spoon of PB, a spoon of Jam and a bit of crackers while watching a movie.

Fun fact: There are differences between Jam, Jelly and Preserves in America. Jam is mostly mashed or crushed fruit mixed with sugar. Jelly is gelatinized fruit juice mixed with sugar and contains no fruit. Preserves contain larger (and sometimes whole) pieces of fruit mixed with sugar. Also, America has what are called Conserves which are Preserves with nuts in them.

TASTY VARIATION: make a grilled peanut butter sandwich. 1. Preheat griddle to medium heat. 2. Make pb sandwich - note: when pb is heated, it melts and can be very messy, running out of the sandwich if spread thick on the sandwich. Add only a thin layer of pb and cook it really long - the pb can thicken and taste burnt, along with the bread. 3. Add butter to one side of sandwich bread. 4. Add butter side down of sandwich to griddle and add butter to topside while cooking. 5. Grill to golden brown on both sides. That chocolate chip flavor will also be awesome!

Pro tip: spread butter on the bread before you put the peanut butter on- it helps cut the stickiness of the peanut butter!

As I got older, I began preferring other jams - like strawberry, apricot preserves, raspberry.

I'm 62 years old and grew up in Southern California eating chunky Skippy peanut butter and Welch's grape jelly on soft white bread (Wonder was the best!). That sandwich was in my lunch bag, along with some BBQ flavored potato chips, pretty much every school day. It's still a favorite of mine, but I only have it a couple times a year. By the way -- jam is made from the whole fruit with sugar, pectin, and lemon juice or citric acid. Jelly is the same ingredients, but not the whole fruit, just the juice. I make and can (jar up for shelf stability) my own jams and jellies, except for grape. I don't have Concord grape vines and Concord grapes are not easily found in a grocery store.

[@emerald637]

Jam and jelly are both spreads made with fruits. Jam is made from crushed or ground fruit, while jelly is made from fruit juice. The biggest difference between jelly, jam, and preserves is how much of the original fruit is used to make them. BTW, jelly is also sold in the UK at several well-known markets.

[@Subxenox15]

The absolute BEST way to enjoy a PB&J is to hard freeze it. On both sides of the bread put smooth HONEY peanut butter, then put jelly in the center and sort of enclose the jelly with the other slice of bread to seal it inside. Put it in a sandwich bag and into a deep freezer. A regular refrigerator freezer will not work properly, or it will take SEVERAL days to properly freeze. Once it's properly frozen, the peanut butter becomes solid, and the jelly inside is not quite frozen, but it's ice cold. The best bread for this is a good brioche, it holds up the best after frozen and is still pretty fluffy and tasty. If you've ever gotten "Uncrustables" and just ate them straight out of the freezer instead of thawing them, it's similar, but WAY better with honey peanut butter instead.

[@hollypotter6989]

Of course as children we ate PB&J with grape jelly. As adults we choose our favorite jelly, jam or preserves. My hubby likes strawberry preserves, i love blackberry jam. PB can be smooth or chunky, any brand you prefer but not with chocolate in it. Just plain PB. The PB with stuff in it is not meant to be put with jam or jelly. Thats more for spreading on toast. We usually do creamy Skippy or Jiff. As an adult, i also butter both sides before applying the PB&J. White milk or chocolate is mandatory. Makes a great lunch when served with chicken noodle soup or just potato chips on the side. In fact putting a couple of potato chips in between the bread along with the PB&J adds a bit of salty crunch. Yummy!

My kids love the PB- banana with honey and the PB - strawberries preserves jelly on toast sandwiches. Also for Christmas we make peanut butter balls and PB on ritz crackers and dip in chocolate and white chocolate

“That’s an L take” got me cryin 😂

Years back, Welches used to make n sell grape jam/preserves with grape skins n it. Much heartier than just jelly. I also remember going to the Welches stand/kiosk next to the Dumbo the Elephant ride at Disneyland, just to get the PERFECT Welches popsicle. Wow, simple and easier das, eh?!

My husband grew up on peanut butter and maple syrup, mixed in a bowl and then spread. I love peanut butter and honey mixed and then spread.

I am impressed with the PROPER choice of SuperChunk + Welch's. There are many brands and combinations of PB&J .. but this is the iconic classic.

[@gregdavidson670]

Cold glass of milk is must. When we were in elementary school we would have Laye’s potato chips with it. Crunchy or smooth. Yes old school memories.

[@SC-gp7kt]

Almond butter takes it to the next level.

I live in Pennsylvania in the US and I grew up with PB&Js. I'm 63 and could still eat one every day! The best is peanut butter and marshmallow fluff! You need to try that.

[@TammyBerry-pl4pd]

We mix the peanut butter & jelly together in a bowl until it is smooth and creamy and spread it on toasted bread.

"Let's get some more chocolate chips in that one"......she's a keeper!! ❤👏👏👏

Here in California, PB&J sandwiches are a childhood comfort food for me and perhaps for some others, nowadays, these sandwiches come in handy when we are low on cash and payday is just days away or it can be a quick on the go snack until we are able to eat a decent size meal. We always enjoyed these sandwich snacks with a tall cold glass of milk. YUM! We have had peanut butter and Jelly with Smucker's Strawberry Jelly, or Raspberry or Grape Jelly, either smooth or crunchy, whichever consistency you prefer is find, as for Jelly it was whatever was around for us and on sale when we were growing up, nowadays I get the Skippy creamy kind and any strawberry or Raspberry Jelly or jam, and if it is grape flavor it has to be the Welch's brand. When we would make them, it would be equal parts thickly spread of peanut on one side and same on the other side with Jelly or Jam or Preserves. Aidan, there is never too much jelly in a PB&J! Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. The less amount of ingredients the better. We haven't found one a jar with less ingredients for grape flavor locally in our stores yet.

My hubby was from UK he didn't care for the regular peanut butter but loved the honey roasted.If he couldn't sleep he would eat a pb and butter sandwich.

Hey from Edmonton Alberta Canada. This 69 year old guy still keeps Welch's Concord Grape Jelly in my fridge & a 2kg jar of Smooth P.B. in my cupboard. Another lifetime favorite is P.B. & Banana & P.B.& Honey, P.B.& Stawberry jam. P.B. & Sliced cucumber, peeled or not. I always spread plenty of butter or margarine on both pieces of the softest bread possible. Now off to the kitchen I must go. P.S., COLD MILK is a MUST for me!

[@shirleypaslay2019]

Toast the bread and butter it. Add the peanut butter when it’s warm and the peanut butter melts, then add your banana. So yummy!! The jelly can go on toasted English muffins or try on a warm buttered scone. We use biscuits.

I'm 62 and I still love a PB&J with a cold glass of milk.

[@marinesnip]

Someone told me a while back that Jelly is made from the juices from the fruit (filtered) and Jam is made with ground or smashed fruit. That why jelly is clear and have no bits and pieces and jam has bits and pieces like seeds in it.

[@sdowens07]

I am 66 and still love punt butter and jelly sandwiches and the 1 with marshmallow fluff is called a fluffanutter, i love Pbnj’s

[@Hereticked]

The concord grape jelly is a classic, but we use all kinds of jams, jellies and preserves to go with the peanut butter. Strawberry and raspberry are probably the second most popular. We also add peanut butter to tons of different snacks and desserts.

[@phunkjnky]

In 1992, during the summer Olympics, a friend of mine and I finished an entire loaf of bread making PB&J sandwiches.

[@stephenjensen5358]

I've had PB&J since I was a kid. I still love it. And in America there's a wide variety of flavors of jams and jellies. It's great to get like 10 different kinds and mix and match them. Honey also goes great with peanut butter. And always with milk.

[@dustinbarnes1969]

Skippy has a roasted honey nut in an Orange tub, my Favorite! 2nd to traditional Super crunchy, yes I agree with the cute boy on that one.. BUT try strawberry preserves!! Smuckers has that or u can get generic..but it's much better than jelly... just more flavor less artificial.. and I prefer 12 grain bread, AND if your feeling like trying something very american with it, :) butter 2 of the pieces of bread, put one down on a frying pan, put your jelly or preserve down on that, peanut butter they other piece, with butter on the outside and stick pb to the j, and enjoy and Fryed pb and j!! U cam make the sandwich Then butter the outsides for frying.. either way it can be a Lil messy but WORTH IT. love u guys!! ♡

Growing up in California (western USA), with a few years in Missouri (Central USA) I ate PB&J sandwiches several times a week for as long as I can remember. All of the adults in my life ate PB&J sandwiches frequently, but not near as often as the kids. Skippy Super Chunk was always my favorite peanut butter. Grape jelly was just okay, strawberry jam was okay. There are dozens of kinds of jelly (Made from juice only), Jam (made with mashed or pulverized fruit), and preserves (made with whole fruit, or chunks) available in the USA. A few examples are. Jelly: grape, apple, mint, pomegranate, jalapeno, and mixed fruit. Jam: Blueberry, plumb, peach, nectarine, apricot, raspberry, blackberry, cherry, and mixed fruit, and fig. Preserves come in every variety as jam. It's still called a peanut butter and jelly sandwich weather you use jam, preserves, or jelly. I'm 65 years old and still have PB&J sandwiches 2-3 times a week. I have always liked jam the best even when I was a child., then jelly, then preserves. The exception to this is my favorite of all is Pomegranate jelly, but that is more difficult to find. I used to make it, as well as other jellies, jams, and preserves, and can them in mason jars. I started making jelly, and jam when I was twelve years old. It's easy to make. Homemade is best. My family and friends used to give each other jars of homemade jelly and jams quite often when I was younger. I like every variety. There is a lot of variety in flavors with PB&J, too many to list. It's best with cold milk. It goes great any soda you like, or with tea or coffee, hot or iced. I use blueberry, plumb, or raspberry jam most of the time.

For what it’s worth as I watched you make the sandwiches I thought you have too much jelly on them. For variety you should try a single slice of bread with peanut butter and finely chopped pickled hot peppers. Supposedly Elvis liked peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I have also tried a peanut butter with crunchy bread and butter pickle. But my favorite is peanut butter and raspberry jam on thinly sliced bread (yours is pretty thick).
