Camp tips

  • • Butter either side of the sandwich with butter or margarine before adding peanut butter and jelly.
  • • Instead of white bread, you can use whole-grain bread, or really any type of bread. Go nuts.
  • • Try adding in some sliced bananas —they go very well with PB&Js.
  • • If using a crab apple jelly, a dash of cinnamon will nicely complement the flavours of the sandwich.
  • • Try adding a bit of honey , or even entirely substituting it for the jelly.
  • • Try adding some sweet or savory cream cheese.
  • • Try toasting the bread before putting the other ingredients on it.
  • • Keep perishables at 40°F (4°C) or below in a monitored cooler. Discard food left above that temperature for over 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Use potable water, wash hands, and pack out scraps. Never cook inside a tent. Check local fire restrictions.
