Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches anyone? How to make the perfect one...


Some of us just don’t take peanut butter and jelly sandwiches seriously enough...

The folks at SeriousEats.com put PB&J ingredients to the test and determined which elements we need to make the best sandwich:

* The Bread: They tested several and ruled out rye and pumpernickel. Of the preferred plain white bread brands, they liked Pepperidge Farm best.

* The Peanut Butter: Creamy trumped crunchy and we have two winners. Whole Foods 365 Organic had the best taste and good old Jif placed 2nd with the perfect texture.

* The Jelly: While this component is subject to a lot of debate, SeiousEats went with Smucker’s Strawberry Jam.

The peanut butter and jelly ratio can make or break your sandwich. They tested several and the general consensus was about 2 to 1, PB over J. For a less soggy sandwich, spread both pieces of bread with the peanut butter before applying the jelly.
