Delicious Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

            Have you ever had a delicious, creamy peanut butter and jelly sandwich? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is very quick and easy to make. This sandwich became popular in the United States in the 1920's with the military. When military men had to go out for camping or for practicing the war, they took these sandwiches with them in airtight bags since they lasted longer than other sandwiches. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches became popular with young children in the 1950's. To make this sandwich, the tools you need are a regular metal knife, paper plates and some napkins. The ingredients for this sandwich are bread (white or brown), peanut butter, jelly and honey.

            The first step to make this sandwich is to take two slices of your favorite bread and place the slices on a plastic plate.  Now we need the second ingredient, which is peanut butter. Peanut butter used to consider a delicacy in the 1920's. Peanut butter comes from peanuts. It is made primarily from smashed roasted peanuts and mixed with butter. It is light brown in color. There are two kinds of peanut butter available at grocery stores, one is creamy and the other one is crunchy.  We need creamy peanut butter for this. Spread peanut butter on one side of the both slices of bread with the help of the knife. While making this sandwich, we use creamy peanut butter because if we use the crunchy one, it might tear the bread.

            The second step is to squeeze the jelly from the bottle into the middle of one slice of bread. Jelly comes from fruits. There are different kinds of jelly available at the stores. Grape and strawberry is the most popular kind of jelly. Some other common jellies are apple, apricot, mango and raspberry. We are using grape jelly for this sandwich. Before squeezing the jelly on the sandwich, we need to make sure to not to put too much. If you put too much jelly in the middle, it will spill out the sides of the sandwich and will make a mess.

            The final and last ingredient is honey, which is the secret ingredient. Honey is a sweet and sticky food. Honey comes from bees. Bees produce honey from the nectar of flowers. Honey is often used as a healthy sweetener. Honey is also used for the skin as a mask. It makes the skin shiny and fades scars, too. Honey comes in different flavors and colors. To make the sandwich, use clover honey, which looks like light yellow in color. To make this sandwich more delicious squeeze the bottle of honey and only put a dot of it on the top of the jelly.  Now place the other slice on the top and cut it in half with the knife.

            After spreading on the peanut butter, jelly and honey, your sandwich is ready to eat. This is very easy, quick and cheap to make. We do not need any expensive ingredients for this. All the ingredients are easily available at the Dollar stores. It is a wonderful meal because we do not even need a refrigerator to save this sandwich. We can save this in a regular sandwich bag and it is good for several hours. You can enjoy this sandwich for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This is also great meal because you do not need a kitchen to make this. It is a perfect food for college students.
