I used to have peanut butter and jam sandwiches all the time and they bring back fond childhood memories. I have not had a PB&J sandwich in a long while but after I made the green tomato and jalapeno jam one of the first things that came to mind was a peanut butter and green tomato and jalapeno jam sandwich and I just had to try it. I like to toast the bread before making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich so that the peanut butter just starts to melt when it hits the warm toast making the sandwich even creamier. The peanut butter and green tomato jam worked surprisingly well. The sweet, tangy and spicy green tomato and jalapeno jam went really well with the creamy stick to the top of your mouth peanut butter. With the success of the grilled PB&J with a spicy jam and the grilled cheese sandwiches with spicy jams and chutneys I wonder in what other new ways I can enjoy the classic PB&J sandwich?

October 4, 2009 at 2:36 amWhat else are you doing with green tomatoes? I've made a green tomato relish, ranch dressing fried green tomatoes, green tomato chili, and green tomato bread – but still have (literally!) 25 pounds of green tomatoes to use up – any ideas?

October 4, 2009 at 3:13 amI love PB&J sandwiches, but this is a first for me. Green tomato and jalapeno jam? I think you're onto something here. I guess I've been stuck on the classic all this time.

October 4, 2009 at 1:01 pmWhoa this is crazy! And by crazy I mean crazy delicious. I bet PB would also be great with one of your many chutneys.

Mary says
October 4, 2009 at 5:08 pmHave you ever thought of using a banana butter on top of the peanut butter? Perhaps with some chopped peanuts sprinkled on for texture. Or a light caramel coat topped with chocolate.

October 4, 2009 at 6:06 pmI'm gonna have to say, that sounds odd, but I trust it tastes great!

October 4, 2009 at 7:05 pmThis is completely interesting! I never use any of my non-traditional jellies in traditional ways.

October 4, 2009 at 7:23 pmI fear that posts such as this prompted the new International "Eater" to make their offer.
Very sad, I think.

October 4, 2009 at 8:32 pmI love peanut butter and jelly and Jalapenos sandwichs. And lemon pound cake with jalapenos.
Lele says
October 4, 2009 at 11:32 pmOooh I want to try that jam. I've recently gotten addicted to pickled green tomatoes with fresh mint (awesome!) but taking them in a sweet direction is such a creative idea!

Kevin says
October 5, 2009 at 10:02 pmCooking with Michele: I am just starting to get into green tomatoes. So far I have done the fried green tomatoes and the green tomato jam. Next I was thinking about a green tomato pie and some pickled green tomatoes. I like the sound of a green tomato chili and the green tomato bread!
