- Grill each half of the sandwich (mixture side up) until underside is lightly grilled.

This recipe is a new spin on the old
Peanut Butter & Jelly (PB&J), a classic "comfort food" for many people.
I call my variation of the original recipe a Grilled Super-PB&J (the S could also stand for Strawberries, but I like "Super" better.) My variations are in red text in the recipe below.
Ingredients:
Method:
This recipe could also be done with bananas (a favorite of my ex-wife). I'm not saying she was bananas... maybe she was just a carrier since she drove me bananas at times!
Taste & Texture
I’m not sure if it is the grilling of the sandwiches or the mixing of the peanut butter with the jelly before putting it on the sandwich, but I found that the texture of the sandwich was not as “sticky” as it usually is with PB&J. Perhaps the mixing along with the heat of the grilling softened up the peanut butter … in either case, it tasted pretty good. The fresh fruit really perked up the sandwich and set it apart from a [boring?] PB&J. I did not taste the vanilla and maple syrup. I’m sure it added to the sweetness of the sandwich and the liquids helped make the mixing process easier.
What do you think? Is this something that you might try?
