Question

On a side note what is the diff between Jelly and or Jams?

Jelly is made with the just the juice of the fruit, but jam contains juice and fruit chunks.

Although you don't need special equipment, it sure makes the process easier:

Answer 2

YOU DONT NEED ANYTHING SPECIAL. BUT A THERMOMETER HELPS. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JAM AND JELLY IS THE JELLY HAS HAD THE FRUIT STRAINED OFF.

Answer 3
