Instructions

Spread a piece of sandwich bread with 1 tablespoon peanut butter.

Place 1 tablespoon preserves on top of the peanut butter and top with another piece of bread.

Sandwich the two pieces together and cut with a cookie cutter, Uncrustables sandwich cutter or the mouth of a large glass.

If you’re using a cookie cutter or glass, remove the excess bread, take a fork and press down just the edges of the bread to adhere to each other. If using an Uncrustables cutter follow packages directions.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Your Bread First 🧊
Refrigerate bread for at least 30 minutes before assembly to prevent tearing when sealing and cutting, resulting in cleaner edges and better structural integrity.
Use a Sealed Crust Cutter ✂️
Invest in a proper sandwich sealer or cookie cutter that simultaneously cuts and seals the edges—this creates an airtight pocket that prevents filling leakage and extends freezer life to 3+ months.
Spread Ingredients Strategically 🔄
Apply peanut butter to both bread slices in a thin, even layer, then place preserves only in the center; this creates a moisture barrier and prevents sogginess while ensuring balanced flavor in every bite.
Flash Freeze Before Final Storage 🥶
Place unsealed sandwiches on a baking sheet in the freezer for 2 hours before cutting and sealing—this firms the filling and bread, making the sealing process cleaner and more effective.
Thaw Strategically for Optimal Texture 🕐
Remove Uncrustables from the freezer 30-45 minutes before eating to allow natural thawing; this prevents condensation inside the pocket and keeps the bread soft while the filling reaches the perfect spreadable consistency.
