This recipe takes the average peanut butter and jelly sandwich up several notches with sourdough bread, homemade peanut butter, scratch-made raspberry jelly, and a kiss of sweet smoke. The heat from the grill toasts the bread beautifully. You get a crispy hearty texture from the sourdough, followed by creamy nut butter goodness and tartness from the raspberry jam.

Instructions

- Step 1: Mix the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to coat the berries in sugar.
  
  Step 2: Cook while frequently stirring until the mixture starts to boil.
  
  Step 3: Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer while occasionally stirring for 10-12 minutes or until thickened enough to leave a trail when you run a spoon through the jelly.
  
  Step 4: Remove from the heat, transfer the jelly to a jar, and set it aside to cool.
  
  Step 5: Add the peanuts, oil, maple syrup, and salt to a blender.
  
  Step 6: Blend until smooth and creamy. Occasionally stop to scrape the sides down for an even consistency.
  
  Step 7: Spoon the peanut butter out of the blender and into a bowl or jar.
  
  Step 8: Spread four of the eight slices of bread with peanut butter. Spread the other four slices of bread with raspberry jelly.
  
  Step 9: Put the two pieces of bread together to form sandwiches, then brush the exterior of each sandwich with melted butter.
  
  Step 10: Preheat your Z-Grill (preferably with branded applewood pellets) or other wood pellet grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  
  Step 11: Place the grill mat on the grates and transfer the sandwiches to the grill mat.
  
  Step 12: Close the lid and grill for 4-5 minutes.
  
  Step 13: Open the lid, flip the sandwiches, close, and grill for another 4-5 minutes.
  
  Step 14: Plate the grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, then serve.
