Before you begin making your delicious PBJ, you need to make some decisions and assemble your supplies. Your first decision is the bread. Do you want white, wheat, multigrain, cinnamon raison (delicious!)? It’s your choice! For a classic PBJ, use white bread. You’ll need two pieces for each sandwich. Your next decision is choosing the flavor of the jam or jelly. For a classic PBJ, you’ll want to go with grape or strawberry jelly. Other flavors can also be delicious, and jam spreads much easier than jelly. Your final decision is to choose either smooth or chunky peanut butter. This is strictly a matter of personal taste. Both are delicious! Now that you’ve made those difficult decisions and really worked up an appetite, gather the tools you’ll need to complete your task: a butter knife, a plate, a glass of milk, and the selected ingredients. First, you should pick up one of your two slices of bread, leaving the other on the plate. Next, take whichever peanut butter you have selected and use your knife to slather about 1 tablespoon on one side of the piece of bread (butter or margarine is optional but, if used, should be applied before the peanut butter). Clean the knife. Next, on the other slice of bread, use the clean knife to smear a generous amount (about 1 tablespoon) of your favorite jam or jelly. I use grape jam because I love the flavor and it’s easy to spread. Jelly is a bit more challenging because it tends to clump up and can sometimes cause the bread to tear. Next, you should put the two slices together with the peanut butter and jam (or jelly) facing each other. Lay the sandwich on a plate. Next, you need to cut the sandwich diagonally into two triangles. Finally, go to the refrigerator, pour yourself a glass of milk, and eat! For a delicious variation, toast the bread before applying the peanut butter and jelly. Yummy!
