I’m going to make the acceptable answers broad so jam, preserves, etc are all acceptable. I’m a fig jam or apple butter man myself.

    concord grape is the only right answer. but if I’m being honest, if I’m in the mood for jelly, I want it on toast.

    I’ve always walked around saying I don’t like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but now that I think about it, that’s not true. I don’t mind eating one, it’s not gross, it’s not delicious, but the issue is that jelly is so God damn good by itself. every time I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I just imagine eating that jelly on toast instead.

    and if we’re doing toast, strawberry is better than grape.

          Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwiches are definitely a thing & quite delicious. I’m just not sure I’d ever add cheese to the flavor pallet.

        nah, the problem is the peanut butter. I have the same feeling about chocolate, I think chocolate is the perfect flavor. adding peanut butter or mint to it is fine, it’s not disgusting, but all you’re doing is distracting from the chocolate. I feel like the peanut butter distracts from the flavor of the jelly, I’d rather eat jelly on toast and then a plain peanut butter sandwich. toasted peanut butter sandwich would be better

    Whatever is at hand. Doesn’t matter to me whether it’s grape, strawberry, apple butter, etcetera. They normally all taste just fine when paired with peanut butter.

        Just looked it up to see exactly what it is and apparently it’s just applesauce that’s been cooked down for hours until it’s thick and spreadable.

        I think there are still jars of the stuff from when my sister-in-law made some around the apartment I’m in. Pretty good with peanut butter, if I say so.

        Don’t know what type of question you were asking, so this is the answer I’m giving.

    I don’t use jelly, because as an Australian, jelly means something very different to me. Jelly on a sandwich is… just no…

    Whatever my girlfriend’s mom home makes.

    One of my favorites is a grape rosemary jam.

    Mango I found not so tasty with peanut butter. Rhubarb preserves are good as well as strawberry. Strawberry mint vanilla is also great. It tastes like a smoothie.

    Blackberry preserves is my favorite though.

    My man, raspberry jam is where it"s at. Perfect sweet/tart to PB ratio. No other spread has beaten it yet.
