One day I realized that if you first process the strawberries into a compote the "jam-like" flavors become stronger and this 7-ingredient PB&J smoothie becomes completely finished. Feeling: right. We'll show you how!

The first recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is believed to have been printed in a 1901 Boston Cooking School magazine. That version was made with handmade peanut butter (called peanut paste) and currant or crab apple jelly.

But PB&Js didn't become popular until after the Great Depression and World War II. By then peanut butter could be made by machine and became an affordable food item. During World War II PB&Js were included on ration menus and when soldiers came home their popularity spread to civilians.
