Strawberry preserves here!

Raspberry jam

I don't use jelly, because as an Australian, jelly means something very different to me. Jelly on a sandwich is... just no...

My mom's homemade strawberry jam

Yes.

The poor quality joke aside, it varies.

My favorites are apple, grape, and plum, in that order.

Strawberry, that's something I have to be in the right mood for because I'm very picky about strawberries in general, and none of the major brands get strawberry jellies/jams/preserves right for my preferences.

I actively dislike most berries with peanut butter, regardless of how they're preserved. So blueberry, blackberry, and the like just aren't an option. I'd have them by themselves on a nice biscuit, some toast, or whatever. The flavors just don't mesh with PB well, imo.

I've never had a marmalade that went well with PB at all. My dad loves orange marmalade with his though.

I've had guava , mango, and (iirc) papaya jams/preserves, and tried them on a PB&J. I didn't dislike the flavor mixes, but I wouldn't buy them with that in mind because I didn't particularly enjoy it either. Kinda meh, imo.

I've never tried a pb&j with pepper, tomato, or bacon jelly. I'm not against trying them, I would do so, though not as a whole sandwich since I suspect I would actively dislike those with PB. But I'd put some on a corner of bread with some PB and try it before I formed a final opinion for my own use.

Now, there is another jelly I've tried with the pb&j. But it's absurdly expensive to get where I live, and I have to special order it. So I wouldn't make a PB&J with it again, since I very much love it in other formats. Prickly Pear. The stuff is amazing. The syrup is balls out on anything you'd use syrup on, and the jelly is the same flavor, just jellied. It's a very distinct amd delightful taste. And it went well with PB. But the expense is such that I would reserve it for uses where it's the star, rather than part of an ensemble.

And, yes, I'm aware I'm a wee bit over enthusiastic about a PB&J. They're on my list of "perfect" sandwiches. The fact that they're a highly variable sandwich group rather than a more limited thing is part of why the format is on the list alongside very defined sandwiches like reubens, but even if you limited the PB&J to a single jelly type, PB type, and limited the bread options, it would still be on the list.

My man, raspberry jam is where it"s at. Perfect sweet/tart to PB ratio. No other spread has beaten it yet.

Blackberry jam is my go-to

Petroleum

Grape

Strawberry or raspberry work best I find.

I'm spoiled. My mom makes jams and cans them, so 9/10 times, her homemade stuff

concord grape is the only right answer. but if I'm being honest, if I'm in the mood for jelly, I want it on toast.

I've always walked around saying I don't like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but now that I think about it, that's not true. I don't mind eating one, it's not gross, it's not delicious, but the issue is that jelly is so God damn good by itself. every time I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I just imagine eating that jelly on toast instead.

and if we're doing toast, strawberry is better than grape.

That's the neat part, I don't.

Anything but grape. Apricot is a favorite.

I like using a forest berry jam mix of Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Cranberries, and Strawberries.

It's currently my favorite, but when I was a kid I liked strawberry preserves.

Blackberry

I don't usually use jelly, and put honey on it instead.

Whatever is at hand. Doesn't matter to me whether it's grape, strawberry, apple butter, etcetera. They normally all taste just fine when paired with peanut butter.

No-sugar-added blackberry jam. Sometimes raspberry of the same type.

Whatever my girlfriend's mom home makes.

One of my favorites is a grape rosemary jam.

Mango I found not so tasty with peanut butter. Rhubarb preserves are good as well as strawberry. Strawberry mint vanilla is also great. It tastes like a smoothie.

Blackberry preserves is my favorite though.

I usually go savory. PB & hot mustard is good, PB & chimichurri is also good, but PB & cilantro chutney from the Indian takeout place is absolutely killer.

Traffic Jam.

It's got a bunch of different berries and rhubarb sometimes. Slovacacek's on I35 outside Waco makes the best.

Sriracha mostly these days. If I was feeling sweet, I would probably go with raspberry

Guava jam

I personally find peanut butter and jelly don't work together at all. But I love a good open top bread slice with butter and jelly/jam. My favourites are quince, plum, raspberry and black current jam.
