Prepare your workspace.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Gather all your ingredients and a clean plate to assemble your sandwich and serve the orange slices.
Tip: Using a clean surface helps keep your food safe and fresh. -
Spread peanut butter on bread.
Take one slice of whole wheat bread and use a butter knife to spread 2 tablespoons (28g) of peanut butter evenly over the surface. Spread gently to avoid tearing the bread.
Tip: If peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds to make spreading easier. -
Add fruit jelly.
On the second slice of bread, spread 1 tablespoon (14g) of your chosen fruit jelly evenly. Make sure to cover the entire slice for a consistent flavor.
Tip: Use a clean knife or spoon to avoid mixing peanut butter into the jelly jar. -
Assemble the sandwich.
Place the jelly-covered slice of bread on top of the peanut butter-covered slice, jelly side down, to form a sandwich. Press gently to help the sandwich stick together.
Tip: Cut the sandwich diagonally if desired for easier handling. -
Prepare orange slices.
Peel the medium orange completely, removing all the white pith. Slice the orange into even rounds or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick, and arrange them on the plate next to your sandwich.
Tip: Use a sharp knife and be careful while slicing to avoid injury.
Pro tips
- Use fresh whole wheat bread for the best flavor and texture.
- To prevent the sandwich from getting soggy, assemble it just before eating.
