Americans, what do you mean when you say peanutbutter and jelly sanwiches?

Question

Is the jelly like jam, or what?

Answer 1

No. Jam has mashed up fruit chunks in it. Jelly doesn't have the fruit chunks.

Answer 2

Jelly is pretty much the same thing as jam or preserves. The difference is that jelly does not have any pieces of fruit in it like preserves, and it has a smoother, more gelatinous texture than jam.

However, even though we call it "peanut butter and jelly", it might have jam or preserves rather than jelly.

Answer 3

I'm not american but the jelly means jam...thats what they call it over there. It makes sense really because jam is a bit like jelly :)

Answer 4

peanut butter

Developed in 1890 and promoted as a health food at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, peanut butter is a blend of ground shelled peanuts, vegetable oil (often hydrogenated) and usually a small amount of salt. Some contain sugar and additives to improve creaminess and prevent the oil from separating. Natural peanut butter uses only peanuts and oil, usually peanut oil. Peanut butter is sold in two forms-smooth or chunky, which contains bits of peanut. It can be easily made at home in a blender or food processor. Natural peanut butter must be refrigerated after opening and can be stored in this manner up to 6 months. Most other commercial peanut butters can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months. Peanut butter is high in fat and contains fair amounts of iron, niacin and protein.

jel·ly -A soft, semisolid food substance with a resilient consistency, made by the setting of a liquid containing pectin or gelatin or by the addition of gelatin to a liquid, especially such a substance made of fruit juice containing pectin boiled with sugar. Also, fruit jam
Synonyms: confection, confiture, conserve, extract, gelatin, jam, jell, jelly, marmalade, pectin, spread, sweet, sweetmeat
