Tips for Making Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

• Spread the peanut butter on both slices of bread. It forms a barrier, so the jelly cannot soak into the bread and make the sandwich soggy.
• Use a light hand with the jelly. A thin layer gives the sweetness you want without leaking out of the sides.
• Warm the peanut butter for 10 seconds in the microwave if it is cold and stiff. It spreads more easily and does not tear the bread.

What to Serve with Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

• A glass of cold milk
• Apple slices
• Carrot sticks

Storing & Reheating Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Best made fresh, but a sandwich made in the morning stays good until lunch if the peanut butter has sealed the bread. Wrapped individually, it freezes well for up to 1 month and defrosts in a lunchbox by midday.
