Peanut butter is made by grinding peanut in a processor with oil.  There are two different types of peanut butter: creamy peanut butter and crunchy peanut butter. Creamy peanut butter is ground until it is smooth. Crunchy peanut butter is ground less, so that pieces of peanut are present. Then salt and sugar are added. The color of peanut butter is light brown. In 1920, it was very expensive, so only rich people could buy it. However, in 21 century, you can buy it for a few dollars at the grocery store. You should choose creamy peanut butter because the creamy peanut butter is very smooth. If you use crunchy peanut butter, it might tear the bread. To make the sandwich, take out two pieces of bread and place them flat on your plate, side by side. Then you open the peanut butter jar. After taking a knife and scooping out some peanut butter, spread the peanut butter all over both slice of bread. Make sure you cover the entire surface.

Jelly is made by boiling grape juice (strawberry juice), sugar, and pectin. There are lots of flavors for jelly but the two most commonly used are grape and strawberry. Now, open the jelly jar and use a knife to remove some jelly. Remember, don’t put too much jelly in the middle, it might spill out the sides of the sandwich and make a mess. Spread the jelly on only one of the two slices of bread, which you already applied peanut butter.
              Finally, honey is a great addition to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Honey is made when honey bees collect nectar by using their proboscis to suck the nectar out of the flowers. Then, they store it in their stomachs and carry it to the beehive. Inside bee’s stomach, the nectar becomes honey. The color and flavor of honey is different based on the kind of flower nectar collected by the bees.  However, honey is usually light or dark amber in color, and it is very sweet. People use it in many ways like in tea and oatmeal. Honey is easily found at grocery store too, and it is cheap. It’s time to finish the special sandwich. Take honey bottle, squeeze a little honey on the middle of bread. Next, quickly press the two slices of bread together. Then, use a knife to cut directly across the sandwich, leaving you with two rectangular shaped pieces. Use a napkin to clean the knife. Lastly, put all of your supplies away and enjoy the delicious sandwich.
