this reads, as ignorant i know, however, i was on vacation in the canary islands-me and my husband were the only americans there. at breakfast i overheard a couple discussing the merits of different types of jelly. they introduced themselves to us later. they are lovely people, but why the lengthy conversation about jelly?

My husbands step mom is british and no they are not. You watch too much tv.
Also just because you saw ONE set of people talking about jelly and a long talk about it doesnt mean everyone does that. I'm sure you and your husband have had long coversations over silly things that others would be like whats with americans and talk about ___________.
LOL! In fact my husband's stepmom and stepbrother (both british) think americans are obsessed with the word A ss!!! LMAO

Think, what kind of cuisine have the British contibuted to the world? Not much. I suppose beans on toast or jams and jellies are silly culinary subjects to discuss, but look at what they have to work with.

Yes...Don't get in a debate about the differences between Jellies and Jams with anyone from the UK. talk, talk, talk....and more talk. According to the Brits...the rest of Europe and Smuckers have this process wrong.

There are 3 complication-unfastened objectives which you would be able to desire to fulfill: a million. solid style 2. solid jell 3. secure from micro organism For solid style, you will decide directly to compliment suitable high quality fruit which you like. you will could desire to attend to the sugar. you will decide on adequate sugar to fulfill the 2nd 2 objectives, devoid of overwhelming the fruit. For solid jell, it truly is going to matter on the variety of fruit. some end result have organic pectin, and you will in simple terms could desire to cook dinner the juice long adequate till it reaches the jell degree (approximately 215 F--get a jelly thermometer). different end result will decide on further pectin in the past they jell. observe that there are categories of pectins. whilst they are all organic products, some require sugar with a view to jell, and others do no longer. in case you do no longer decide directly to characteristic diverse sugar, be beneficial to purchase a no-sugar further variety of pectin. For secure practices, you are able to desire to have the two acid interior the fruit and sugar. Such an atmosphere that's the two acidic and sugary prevents micro organism from transforming into. so which you would be able to desire to characteristic a minimum of a few sugar to the recipe in case you pick to save the jelly at room temperature. (otherwise, you are able to freeze the jelly). once you upload components and get them to jell by utilising boiling and/or including pectin, you pour off the jelly into jars that have been sterilized by utilising boiling. you placed new lids on, yet no longer tightly, and immerse the jars in boiling water for 5-quarter-hour reckoning on the fruit. then you definately can save the jelly precise at room temperature. that's suited to persist with a recipe for the 1st few batches so as which you have an thought of ways lots fruit and sugar to apply. you will locate recipes on line, in books on the library, or in pectin packets and containers of latest jelly jars. solid success!

It goes well with tea and biscuits?
Seriously though I think they call our Jello jelly there, and they call jelly jam.
Not quite sure.
