Learn to make your own homemade frozen uncrustables sandwiches. This recipe allows you to control the quality of ingredients, save money, and have perfectly portable meals for road trips, vacations, or packed lunches.
1. Arrange the bread on a flat surface and spread a THIN layer of peanut butter on each slice of bread. This prevents the jelly from making the bread soggy. Next, add a tablespoon of jelly into the center of 6 of the slices.
2. Repeat the procedure with the remaining six slices of bread and the peanut butter. Sandwich the two slices together and press down slightly.
3. Using a sandwich cutter, cut out the center of the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches pressing firmly to seal the edges. Alternatively, if using a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or mason jar lid, cut out the center of the sandwich and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork around the perimeter of the sandwich. You may need to run a sharp knife around the edge to create a clean line.
4. To freeze: Place the sandwiches in individual zip-top bags. Press out the air and seal. Transfer to the freezer and freeze until firm.
5. To thaw: Remove the sandwich from the freezer and allow it to thaw at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
