What is the difference from jam and jelly?

Answer 1

Jelly is a clear, bright product. It is generally made by cooking fruit juice and sugar with pectin as a jelling agent and lemon juice as an acid to maintain a consistent texture. Jelly is firm and will hold its shape (it “shakes”). Generally, jelly contains no pieces of fruit, although specialty jellies, like pepper jelly, may include pieces of jalapeño or other pepper.

Jam is made from crushed or chopped fruit cooked with sugar, and often pectin and lemon juice. Jam can be a purée of fruit or have a soft pulp, but it does not contain chunks of fruit.

Answer 2

Jam is more of a solid. It stays in place. Jelly is really spreadable and loose, almost runny. Think of the expression(I know you have heard b4): "Must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that!"

Answer 3

jam is with the seeds of a fruit and jelly is without.also i think jelly is made with pectin.

Answer 4

jam is chunky because it has fruit pieces in it
for jelly its more smoother and no fruit pieces in it
