How to Make 'Uncrustables' Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches.

This is a tutorial on how you can take a boring, regular PB and J sandwich and make it even more delightful to eat. It has the same ingredients as an ordinary peanut butter and jelly sandwich but it somehow tastes even better. This is inspired by the 'Uncrustables' sandwiches sold by Smucker's.

Peanut Butter

Jelly (Any flavor)

Whole Wheat Bread

Knife

Fork

4-inch cookie cutter

Pizza cutter

Plate

You’ll want to ensure that you don't cover the edges of the bread in peanut butter. This helps with sealing the bread together later on.

Try to place the jelly in the center of the bread instead of spreading it out. The peanut butter acts as a barrier for the jelly preventing it from making the sandwich soggy. (Two packets of jelly correspond to about 3 full tablespoons)

This helps to seal the contents in place.

Use the dull edge of the cookie-cutter when pressing into the sandwich. To protect your hands from the sharp edge, you can place a plate on top of the cutter then press down.

Make sure to keep the cookie cutter in place so that you can use it as a guide to cut around the sandwich.

You should probably also throw away the extra crusts unless you were planning to eat those.

You can use a fork to press around the edges of your sandwich to make it look more aesthetically pleasing. Otherwise, you can forget this step and just dig in! If you choose to do this step, press the edges on the first side then flip the sandwich over and press the edges on the other side. This helps to seal the sandwich more securely.
