Hi !!!
Here you go...
Jelly is made from fruit juice. The product is clear and firm enough to hold its shape when turned out of the container. Jam is made from crushed or ground fruit. It tends to hold its shape but is generally less firm than jelly.

Q. What is the difference between jelly, jam, and preserves?
A. JELLY is made from fruit juice. Jelly is clear and firm enough to hold its shape when turned out of its container.
JAM is made from a blend of crushed pieces of fruit and fruit puree.
PRESERVES contain whole or large pieces of fruit, making them thicker and more fruit-filled than jams or jellies.
MARMALADE is jelly with shreds of citrus fruit peel.
CONSERVES are jams made from a mixture of citrus fruits and can also include nuts.
FRUIT BUTTERS are made from fruit pulp and sugar cooked together. There is no butter in fruit butter. The term may have developed to describe the appearance of the product or because it is a spread.
CHUTNEY and RELISH are flavorful, seasoned condiments with a consistency similar to jam. Chutney is typically made with fruits and relish is typically made with vegetables.

Both are made with real fruit, but jam has chunks of fruit in it, and Jelly is smooth.

They are different in consistency. Jelly does not have fruit pieces in it, just juices. Jam is cooked down from whole (or seedless) fruit. Ergo, it has fruity chuncks where jelly doesn't.

Jam has fruit chunks in it, jelly does not.

Jam is made with fruit purees while jelly is mainly made with juices... hence jellies are typically tranparent - like looking through jello.

jellies are clear. jams have pieces of the fruit they are made of in them.
