Once the peanuts are harvested they need to get clean and roasted and then they go through a process call blanching, this is when the skins are removed from the peanut. Last the peanuts are ground along with other ingredients until these get the right color and consistency between crunchy and creamy. The colors of the peanut can be too dark or

too light. To make the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich you will need two slices of bread, peanut butter, one plate, and a knife. First, you need to have the two slices of bread on the plate with one slice face up and the other face down. Then spread creamy peanut butter with a knife on one size of bread. Next, clean the knife with a napkin so the peanut butter doesn’t mix with the jelly. If you going to use crunchy peanut butter, be careful not to tear the bread.

     Second, you can choose your own flavors of jelly. There are a lot of different flavors of jelly like grape, strawberry, blackberry, and cherry. Jelly is a product made out of fruit and the correct amount of others ingredients to create a gel. Using the clean knife, get some grape jelly out of the jelly jar and spread it on top of the peanut butter. Then be careful not to put too much jelly in the sides, because it might spill out of the sandwich and make a mess.

The honey has golden color syrup very sweet and it can have liquid and smooth texture. Last, spread one drop of honey on top of the peanut butter and jelly. Then put the second slice on top of everything. Next, you cut the sandwiches in two pieces with the knife and eat it. I like to eat my peanut butter and jelly sandwich with honey, it is delicious.
