Ingredients

  • whole wheat bread 2 slices
  • peanut butter 2 tbsp
  • fruit jelly 1 tbsp
  • orange 1 medium

Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
