British MUM tries Peanut Butter Jelly Sandwiches for the first time! 

Made with - Jelly: Fruit juice only Jam: Small/Mashed fruit pieces Preserves: Large/Whole fruit pieces

Nothing goes better with a Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwich than a large glass of ice cold milk.

As an American, I can tell you it is extremely important to have a solid layer of jelly. The solid layer of jelly relieves the thick stickiness of the peanut butter.... Oh, look you need a tall glass of ice-cold milk to wash it down....

A little trick I learned from raising my twins. If making a sandwich to take to park or lunch, I put peanut butter on both slices and that keeps the jelly from soaking through the bread. If eating later they can become soggy

...and a glass of cold milk.

You made that sandwich perfectly in my opinion, just the right amount of everything. I'm so happy you enjoyed it.

Looks like another PB&J convert. I'm a senior lady and I still eat these frequently. They're definitely not just for kids.

There’s jelly, jam, and preserves and it’s how it’s made that makes them different.

The trick is to spread the jam first, then clean the knife off on the other piece of bread before spreading the peanut butter on it.

Jelly, jam, and preserves are all different. They all can be used the same way (for the most part) but are different. Side note: American Jello has nothing to do with any of these 3 listed above. Jello is an entirely different item that is considered a dessert.

She did a great job making the sandwich. Absolutely perfect.

So happy she liked it!

Peanut butter and banana is also awesome

Add a ice cold glass of milk and u got a perfect meal!!!

I like a smear of peanut butter on toast for breakfast. The toast warms the peanut butter...YUM 😍

Jello is not jelly. Jelly is a smooth fruit preserve.

The answer is always more peanut butter.

You can absolutely use crunchy if you prefer. I, however, prefer creamy.

Don't let people tell you there's a right or wrong way to make a PB&J. It's personal preference like all things in life. And I like jam, preserves, and jelly, so it doesn't matter. It's what you have, or what you prefer. My personal favorite is blackberry jelly, but jam is cheaper because it's hard to get all those seeds out. I'm glad y'all were willing to try it, regardless of what you made it with 😊

Peanut butter goes on both slices with jelly/jam in the Middle.

Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. Jello is a desert and should be considered different.

Oh noooo.... Mum cut it side to side. The Sandwich Police will come to arrest her. A sandwich can ONLY properly be cut top to bottom (vertically) or corner-to-corner, never horizontally. (yes, I'm joking.)

peanut butter & honey sammies will set you free

Yeah we don't usually mention the tall glass of ice-cold milk with the peanut butter and jelly sandwich but it's more because it's an assumed pairing. You gon' want that milk when the peanut butter starts a-stickin'.

Watching your mum trying things is cool. She should try a B.L.T. sandwich 🥪 BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATOE SANDWICH typically with mayonnaise on the bread. YUMMY 😋

Moms make the best peanut butter jelly sandwitches

Gelatin, what you call jelly, we call Jell-O in general but it's a name brand. We also do have jelly, jam, preserves, marmalade, curds, and fruit butter. The difference between them is mostly splitting hairs. They are all made with fruit, sugar, and maybe some added pectin depending on what you are making and how much natural pectin is already present in the fruit. The simple breakdown is this: Jelly- no fruit pieces, juice only. Jam- small fruit pieces are present. Preserves- has bigger fruit chunks. Marmalade- citrus fruit made with juice and zest from rinds. Curd (such as lemon curd)- fruit juice, zest if done from a citrus fruit, and contains egg yolk and butter. Similar to a custard. Fruit butters (such as apple butter)- pureed fruit cooked at low temperature for hours to thicken.

I haven't had peanut butter and jelly in years and all the sudden this week I've had a peanut butter Sandwich everyday this week... To me it's comfort food... I love crunchy peanut butter! But right now I only have smooth. Also, just an FYI, you don't put jam on the opposite bread! You pile it on top of your peanut butter and smooth generously😊

Ya, you called it...MORE PEANUT BUTTER, MORE JELLY. LOL Also, "Mum", you need a little glass of milk to rinse that down.

A glass of ice cold milk to wash it down. Also... (laughing) What kind of sociopath cuts a pb&j at the equator instead of diagonal? 🤣😂😜

She spreads the peanut butter so thin and dainty! :D She needs a class of milk.

The biggest difference between jelly, jam, and preserves is how much of the original fruit is used to make them. Jelly has the smoothest consistency and is made by crushing a fruit and discarding the solid chunky leftovers. This leaves only the fruit juice, which is then mixed with a substance called pectin and heated to form the gelatinous spread. Jam is similarly made by crushing a fruit, but this spread leaves in most of the solid pieces of the fruit’s fibers and seeds (if they’re small enough and safe to consume) to give it a spreadable consistency. Of the three, preserves use the most of the fruit and are simply chopped smaller pieces of fruit that are mixed with sugar to keep them fresh and combined with a syrup or jam to contain them.

In America, we tend to make it much thicker layers. For kids, some of the fun is the squeeze out of the peanut butter or jelly. Have a plate under your child's mouth is a must. 😊

I use the second piece of bread to clean the peanut butter off the knife.

Jam is the preserved fruit. What you have their could be considered jam. Jelly is the gelatis of the fruit juice. Jell-O is the name of a product that is sold in the US. Jell-O produces cold jelly and pudding products.

Another sandwich to try if you like peanut butter is to use hamburger dill pickle slices instead of the jelly. The pickle adds crunch and keeps the peanut butter from sticking to the roof of your mouth.

I was taught to put thin layer of salted butter on bread for the jelly side. Keeps bread from getting soggy before lunchtime 😋💖

Grape jelly is more common to make but Strawberry Jam is the best flavor to our family's taste. She likes crunchy and I like smooth.

Yay, Mom! A total classic! In the US, jelly is smooth with no fruit pulp. Jam has pieces of fruit in it, and preserves have large pieces of fruit.

She’s hooked! Yes, we also use crunchy and extra crunchy peanut butter but it tends to tear and rip up the bread.

And you have to have milk to drink with it! So next time eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with glass of milk.

So great to see Mum again!!!!

I love a bagel sliced in half. Toasted. Half spread with crunchy peanut butter and half with cream cheese. Press together.

A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is easier and quicker to make by putting 1 tsp of peanut butter and 2 tsp. of jelly in a cup and then mix with a spoon. Spread on the bread.

Back in the day it was either tuna fish,egg salad,bologna and cheese,grilled cheese or PB&J sadwiches in the ol Bonanza lunch box.

I'm 70 years old and I have a PB&J sandwich a couple times a week however I butter my bread like my English Grandfather did. It's also delicious on toast. Have a wonderful day.

In America, jam is the same thing as jam in Britain/Jersey: it has pieces of fruit fibre in it. Jelly is a preserve that has the consistency of gelatine because of the pectin in it, but it is clear and the fruit bits have been strained out, leaving just the juice, which is congealed. If it has a jelly spread in it, it's peanut butter and jelly; if it has a jam spread in it, it's peanut butter and jam.

varition of the pb&j i really enjoy is to toast the bread and while it’s still hot assemble the sandwich quickly. The peanut butter and jelly get warm and melty so it’s a bit messy but comforting on a cold day

I grew up on pb&j sandwiches. I’m 65 years old, from NY, and I still eat them sometimes. I guess it’s just one of those comfort foods that makes you think of childhood.

Peanut butter and jelly on toast is awesome too! 😋 The peanut butter melts, its so good! Peanut butter and butter is yummy also if you are out of jelly.. 😊 Love grape jelly!! 🍇🍞🥜

In the US, we have jelly which is fruit juice and pectin. Which jells the juice. Next is jam the fruit juice with small bits of the fruit. Last is preserves large pieces of the fruit with juice. All three have the pectin to jell it. Jello is a completely different food product. Jello is also the name brand.

We're not coming for Mum, but we're all in our heads saying "keep going, keep going, keep going" lol

Jelly has no fruit pulp in it. Jam has fruit pulp in it.

Crunchy peanut butter!!! That's the way i've always done it

We have both jam and jelly here in the states. Jam is made from mashed or crushed fruits and Jelly is made from the juice from the fruits.

Iwas raised on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a kid. My grandfather also got me hooked on peanut butter on my pancakes and waffles. We put peanut butter in rice crispy treats and peanut butter icing on chocolate cake.

What we call jelly is jelled fruit juice, without any of the fruit bits.

Try PB&J but... Toast the bread first & when its freshly toasted, put that PB&J in there and enjoy! Its totally different because the PBJ finds every pocket in the hot toast. As an adult, its the only way I eat a PB&J!

PB&J goes great with a cold glass of milk or water. By-the-way, Jam, Jelly & Jello are all separate items. Jelly & Jam are different: Jelly is made using fruit juice, while Jam is made using whole fruits that have been crushed. When i was young my grandmother would preserve fruits, etc. every year.

I remember on Saturdays during the summer, my mom would put a jar of peanut butter and jelly a butter knife, a bag of bread in a brown paper grocery bag then we would all head off to the farmers market and us kids sat in the back of the trailer munching on our PB&J‘s for breakfast. Those were good times 😊

Your layer of peanut butter and jam together should be at least as thick as a slice of the bread.. so imagine the sandwich as 3 slices of bread, except the center slice is 50% peanut butter and 50% jam. So no, you didn't use enough peanut butter or jam :P

Lovely seeing your Mom again! She did great!

Jelly is made only with fruit juice. Jam is fruit clumps and juice. Preserves is almost all fruit and very little juice

Apologies for the double comment - Mum has to try a Fluffernutter sandwich. It's marshmallow Fluff w peanut butter on cheap white bread. It's basically a desert sandwich. But soooooo goooooood!

Great video Mum!! So glad you liked it!!! Blackberry jam is my fav.

SEE MILLIE??!?!!? we told ya!🤣 hahahahaah. great video, thanks for sharing.

In the US, we have jelly, jam, and preserves. The jelly is just that, like a jello, but thicker. Jam is mashed fruit, probably what you put on your PB&J sandwich. Then there are preserves, which contain pieces of fruit in the mix. I hope this helps you understand stand the 3 types of fruit spread for toast, and PB&J sandwiches.

In America we have jelly, jam and preserves. Jelly is just made with the juice. Jam is made with smashed fruit and preserves has more whole pieces of fruit.

I sometimes make a peanut butter and raisin sandwich. I also like to get cinnamon raisin bagels, slice them in half, toast them, then slather on creamy peanut butter and sprinkle raisins on top (eating each half separately).

Love crunchy. Gives a good textural difference.

Jelly is made with only the fruit juice. Jam has small pieces of the fruit in it. Preserves have larger chunks of fruit.

Jelly is strained fruit juice, sugar, and pectin. Jam, preserves, or fruit spread have fruit bits of various sizes and formulations, sugar, and varying amounts of pectin, all according to legally defined standards of identity for anything sold commercially.

Interesting way to cut the sandwich. Never seen a sandwich cut in half horizontal so that the whole top crust of the bread is on top. I’ve always cut it in half vertical so you get the top half of the crust on both halves.

Toast the bread, it was right there. Tripple the amount of peanut butter, double the jelly. Have a cup of coffee or tea to cut through everything. Heaven awaits.

They have a combined peanut butter and jelly that was first marketed back in the sixties. They called it "Goober Jelly" the two were swirled with each other. They call peanuts "gobbers" in the southern states. What you call jelly in G B is called Gelatin desert or Jell-O after the company that first introduced the Gelatin desert that had the flavorings already in them.

Most everyone sticks to strawberry jam and grape jelly. I like to mix it up as go with peach. You can also go with smooth or chunky peanut butter

In the United States we have jam and jelly! There is not an either/or. We have both! And also we have another similalr product called preserves! So I don't see how the British people videos that I continue to see are confused? We have jam and jelly! Jelly is different and preserves are different but they are similar and also can be used with a peanut butter sandwich.

You can even cut the bread with a cookie mold or cut into small pieces & serve as an hors-d’oeuvre for a brunch or party

We call jellies gummies in the states! Jelly is a bit different from jam. It's thicker, yet somehow more runny. Crunchy peanut butter is actually amazing on one of these.

You need a lot more of both then that! Along with a large glass of chocolate, strawbrry or plain milk. And you need Skippy or Jiff. Even tastes good on toasted bread. Glad you liked it Mum!

Cheers thanks for trying and sharing. So glad she enjoyed this.

If you grew up in the south, Sunday’s big meal was at lunchtime and for dinner there would be peanut butter & maple syrup sandwiches

Jelly-Made from the filtered juice. Jam-Has plup in it.

Crunchy vs. creamy is to each person’s preference. I use nearly double the amount of each that was used here. My Dad made his a quarter inch of butter, a quarter inch of peanut butter and a quarter inch of jam. Another favorite is butter, peanut butter, crisp bacon in a pancake taco.

I grew up on PB&J. I'm 63 and I still eat and love them (although I don't eat as many as before.)

More peanut butter, more jelly...😂 and cold milk to wash it down. It is the first food American kids learn to make for themselves.

Crunchy peanut butter and strawberry preserves. And yes, there should be plenty on there, at least enough so that it falls on to the plate and you get to sweep it up with the corner crust of the last bite. Tall glass of ice-cold whole milk. Bite and sip, bite and sip.

Our jam is the same as your jam, with bits of fruit pulp. Then Jelly is made with fruit juice. And preserves are fruit chunks. Then your jellY is our jellO. Jello is a brand name for the product, which is just gelatin.

Looks great! Good Job! 😊 You will never be to old for a PB & J 😋

Now that’s a actual peanut and jelly sandwich!! Your mom did it right, but I add more than what she put!!

I’m 65, been eating these weekly since a kid way back since the early 60’s, and wow, that’s a lot of both.

I’m 44 and I still love PB&J to this day. I like the Jiff peanut butter with honey, and either strawberry or raspberry preserves for me.

I use crunchy most often but have used creamy too

Not just crunchy, but extra cruchy peanut butter is what I use for my sandwiches, always paired with strawberry jelly.

I'd say that was the ideal spread, one pointer that I learned has helped from how my mom made PBJ that my friend pointed out was to put peanut butter on both breads, then place the jelly in the middle, that away when you travel with the sandwich the jelly doesn't make the break soggy as the peanut butter protects it.

We have jelly, jam, and preserves. Loosely separated by how much the fruit is blended together.

Peanut butter and jelly is the go to sandwich for everybody's life starting when they're a kid. I'm 58 years old and I still love them

Don’t forget the cold milk to wash it down

You needed to use GRAPE jelly in your sandwich, specifically Concord grape, that's what 97% of Americans use for the average peanut butter & jelly sandwich. It has a totally different flavour...and is quite addictive! ;-)

When I make PBJ sandwiches for work I put peanut butter down on both slices and then jelly/jam in the middle. That way the bread doesn’t get soaked thru with jelly/jam
