what is the difference between jelly and jam???

Answer 1

Jelly is made from the concentrated and sweetened juices of fruit - all the solids are strained out before it is canned, resulting in a more or less clear spread.

Jam has the fruit left in it when it is canned.

Depending on the fruit, no pectin needs to be added - pectin occurs naturally in all fruit, but sometimes in quantites too small to allow it to gel.

Answer 2

Jelly is usually clear, and Jam is with fruit pieces, the other answer is that Jelly (jello) is usually from the States, and Jam England

Answer 3

Jam is more real with natural stuff than Jelly

Answer 4

Jelly is translucent for the most part made with fruit juice and pectin to make it jell while jam is the whole crushed fruit to which is added pectin. Jam is also called a preserve.

Answer 5

Jelly is in a "Jell" form like Jello and Jam has pieces of the fruit in it.

Answer 6

Jelly is basically fruit juice and sugar. Jam has fruit pulp in it.

Answer 7

jelly is made from the juice of the fruit and jam is made from the pieces of the fruit.

Answer 8

Jam has bits of fruit in it! and jelly is free of the fruity bits.

Answer 9

Jelly has had the fruit bits strained out, so the consistency is very smooth, like jello.

Jam has pieces of the cooked fruit, so it is thicker and has texture based on the fruit you are using (seeds for raspberries, slices of strawberries, etc).

Answer 10

i know jam is healthier. i'm pretty sure that jelly has added sugar and jam does not.
