How to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
In this document, I’m going to describe one way to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, from here on out I’ll use the term PB&J when referring to the end result. There are many ways to make a PB&J, but I’ll keep this simple and describe making a classic PB&J.
