What is the difference between jelly jam and jam?

Answer 1

Jam is a preserve made from whole fruit and has a rough texture.

Jelly is a softer and is a strained fruit spread without bits of fruit.

Jelly, jam and preserves are all made from fruit mixed with sugar and pectin. The difference between them comes in the form that the fruit takes. In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result).
