Print Recipe

These homemade freezer sandwiches combine peanut butter and strawberry jam in a crustless, sealed sandwich perfect for lunchboxes and snacks. They freeze well and thaw to soft, delicious bites without preservatives.

Ingredients

  • White sandwich bread (soft, square slices)
  • Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • Strawberry jam
  • Optional: butter or margarine (for spreading on bread edges to help seal)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by laying out bread slices on a clean surface. Optionally, lightly spread softened butter or margarine on one side of each slice.
  2. Spread about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of peanut butter evenly over the buttered side of half the bread slices, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons (15-22 g) of strawberry jam over the peanut butter layer, spreading gently and leaving a small edge.
  4. Place the remaining bread slices, buttered side down, over the jam-covered slices, aligning edges carefully.
  5. Press a 3 to 4-inch round sandwich cutter firmly down through the sandwich, twisting slightly to seal the edges. Remove the crust that forms the outer ring, leaving a sealed circle.
  6. Arrange sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch. Freeze uncovered for about 1 hour to firm up.
  7. Once frozen solid, stack sandwiches with parchment paper between each to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight freezer bag or container.
  8. When ready to eat, thaw sandwiches at room temperature for 30-60 minutes or overnight in the fridge. The bread softens and the filling tastes fresh.

Notes

Press the sandwich cutter firmly and twist slightly to seal edges well and prevent jam leakage. Freeze sandwiches individually before stacking to avoid sticking. If bread is dry, spritz lightly with water before assembling to keep sandwiches soft after freezing. Avoid overfilling with jam or peanut butter to prevent leaks.
