go ahead. do a google image search for "peanut butter and jelly" and check out the results. mostly white bread, but sometimes wheat. mostly creamy peanut butter, but sometimes chunky. the one thing that's ALWAYS the same: purple colored jam.

i take this as proof that i'm not alone in defaulting to jams of purple and dark red color. so maybe my revelation about orange colored jams will be useful to others with messy eating toddlers, too--they don't stain! i'm not telling you to ditch grandma's homemade strawberry rhubarb preserves, but i am suggesting that clean-up--or at least laundry--will be easier if you feed little justin-bobby orange, peach, or apricot jam.
