Lay 2 pieces of bread on workspace, top to top with similarly shaped edges on the same side. This will insure even placement of bread without excess overlap and eventual spillage of jelly. Evenly spread peanut butter on one piece of bread making certain to spread all the way to the edge of the bread. Wipe excess peanut butter on inside of peanut butter jar.
Scoop jelly onto center of remaining piece of bread, spreading evenly in the process. When using preserves, spread chunks of fruit out across bread evenly rather than grouping them in 1 or 2 select areas. Wipe excess jelly on inside of jelly jar. Carefully place 1 piece of bread onto the other, sticky sides together with similarly shaped edges aligned to avoid spillage. For a fancy touch, cut sandwich in half at a diagonal.
