Make the best PB&J

[lukemartin93]

Coming off of the grilled cheese extravaganza and just making my daughter a Pb&j, I was thinking what’s the best Pb&j?

Which bread, peanut butter, and jelly/jam/preserves?

 

[lukemartin93]

For me, I’d go with Sara Lee artesano honey wheat bread (so soft and chewy), raspberry preserves (especially the homemade my wife made with fresh picked raspberries ) and jif crunchy pb. Oh and with a glass of 2% milk

Combine your grilled cheese inspiration, and after you make the PB&J, put it in a pan and make it a Grilled PB&J. You're welcome.

Triple decker. Middle piece of bread had PB on both sides and jelly on outer bread.

Peanut butter, bacon, banana, and honey is amazing but there is no jelly.

Uncrustables in the air fryer is life-changing.

Triple decker is a power move

I make a lot of jelly and jam, so am kind of a snob with that, and for peanut butter I like Jif.

Big fan of this bread:

Also, my wife is insistent on it and puts peanut butter on both pieces of bread, and I’d have to agree. Keeps the bread less soggy imo

This is accurate, we use our panini a lot for grilled PB&whatever we're feeling.

Umm how long and how hot? Do you spray it with cooking spray or anything?

Especially if crunchy peanut butter. The dog is my best friend when I make a triple decker

You guys picky about jelly?

I"m probably too basic for this thread. Just give me Jif creamy, grape jelly (Welches or Smuckers) and Sunbeam white bread. Maybe toast it a little if I'm feeling froggy.

Not really... but for the golf course honey is typically my go-to over jelly

Not sure picky is a strong enough word. The worst is we have all of this delicious, homemade jelly and my kids reach for the Smuckers...

I like the homemade raspberry. Or strawberry.

There’s something about the basics. Why fix something that’s not broke!

Hmm hot honey could be an interesting addition too

Preserves guy myself. I like strawberry the most. I also really like an apple jam.

Jelly: fruit juice + sugar

Jam: chopped or pureed fruit + sugar

Chutney: chopped or pureed fruit + sugar + vinegar + spices

Preserves: whole fruit or fruit chunks + sugar

Marmalade: whole citrus (either chopped or left intact) + sugar

Compote: whole fruit or fruit chunks + sugar (but usually eaten immediately, not preserved)

Well this is super helpful. Don’t know how many times I’ve wondered the differences but was too lazy to google it

I’ve found that around 340° for about 3-4 minutes is best spritz of Avo oil

So does this mean most jams and preserves are interchangeable? I

I love that you've linked this like 10 times. So underrated.

Here's the deal for me - lightly toasted english muffin bread, skippy creamy and homemade preserves. I'm pretty simple with a good PBJ.
