Cook's notes

  • Toast your bread lightly before assembling to add a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the creamy almond butter.
  • Spread a thin layer of almond butter on both slices of bread before adding the jelly to prevent the jelly from making the bread soggy.
  • Use high-quality, organic fruit preserves to elevate the flavor profile of this classic sandwich.

Easy swaps

  • Swap almond butter for cashew butter, sunflower seed butter (nut-free), or tahini.
  • Use gluten-free bread if you have dietary restrictions.
  • Experiment with different fruit flavors like apricot, raspberry, or spicy chili-infused jam for an adult twist.
