Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a yummy treat that many people love! They mix the creamy taste of peanut butter with the sweet flavor of jelly. Let’s learn how to make this tasty sandwich and discover how jelly is made!

The Ingredients

To make a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you need these ingredients:

  • Whole Wheat Bread: This bread is healthy and gives you energy and fiber.
  • Peanut Butter: It’s creamy and full of protein, which helps your body grow strong.
  • Strawberry Jelly: Made from strawberries, this sweet spread makes the sandwich extra tasty.

The Journey to the Jelly Factory

Before we make our sandwich, let’s see how jelly is made:

  1. Harvesting Strawberries: Farmers pick ripe, red strawberries from the fields.
  2. Cooking the Strawberries: At the factory, strawberries are cooked to get their juice.
  3. Straining: The juice is separated from seeds and pulp, leaving pure fruit juice.
  4. Making the Jelly: The juice is mixed with pectin, which makes it thick like jelly.
  5. Jarring: The jelly is put into jars, ready to be sent to stores.

Assembling the Sandwich

Now, let’s make our sandwich! Follow these easy steps:

  1. Spread Peanut Butter: Take one slice of bread and spread peanut butter all over it.
  2. Add Jelly: On another slice, spread strawberry jelly evenly.
  3. Combine: Put the two slices together, with the peanut butter and jelly sides touching.
  4. Slice and Serve: Cut the sandwich into halves or smaller pieces to enjoy!
