  • Jelly is fruit juice paste made with gelatin or pectin.

  • Jam is the exact same except with mashed bits of fruit.

  • Preserves have whole chunks

      Yes in some other places what we refer to as jello (gelatine-based fruit-flavored wobble) you call jelly. But the jelly in a classic PBJ is assumed to be made from concord grape juice and sugar, jellified by pectin. Do you guys not distinguish between the pectin and gelatin kinds?

  I mean jam is just made from any fruit right? Or is jelly not jam and truly a specific thing?

    jam is made from mashed fruit, jelly is made from fruit juice. basically the same process except the solids are strained out

      We just use jelly beans and peanuts around here, I dunno what you folks are on about.

      Who the fuck can afford jelly or grapes these days?

  I too have had the experience of learning something I just never thought about from childhood on. And I will note that most jelly (and purple grape juice, and Manischewitz passover wine) is made from Concord grapes, which are not the same kind as are usually eaten raw from a grocery store. So no judgement, just curious: do you mean you never noticed the jar says “Concord Grape Jelly” or do you just not eat/encounter jelly?
