Learn the difference between Jam and Jelly!
Most of us can infer from their names that jam and jelly are not the same-we may even have a preference. But what’s not common knowledge is what exactly the difference is between jam and jelly. It turns out that jam is cooked crushed fruit (with sugar of course) while jelly is gelantinized fruit juice (with sugar of course).
A close cousin of jam and jelly is also conserve. Conserve is a whole fruit jam made from one or many fruits cooked with sugar. Conserve making beats out jam or jelly making in terms of difficulty as the fruits must remain in their whole shape through the cooking process.
