[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 2452124, member: 16989"] Americans use jelly & jam interchangebly. But they are actually different things. Jelly is a fruit spread made from fruit juice, so it's very smooth & lacks fruit bits & seeds. Jam is made by boiling the whole fruit, so it has lots of fruitty bits & seeds (for small seeds like rasberry & strawberry). Jell-o is a brand name that refers to a flavored geletin product. Geletin is obtained from rendered animal bits (usually pigs in the US). The geletin is what gives the Jell-o its wobelly form. In fact, until the invention of powdered Geletin, Geletin deserts were very hard to make & often seen as a mark of sophistication & wealth to produce. Any company can produce a geletin product that looks, acts & tastes like Jell-O. Only the Jell-O corporation can make a geletin desert & CALL it Jell-O. (Like Coke vs Pepsi vs Soft Drink). For instance, there used to be a grundge band called Green Jell-O (put out hit 3 Little Pigs). Jell-O sued them & they had to change their name to Green Jelly). So Jam & Jelly are both fruit products, but made differently. Geletin & Jell-O are complelty different. [/QUOTE]
