Is jelly American?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what type of jelly you mean. If you mean a gelatin dessert (like Jello), we call it gelatin. If you mean the sweet fruit spread you use on toast, we call it jelly.

How do you make fizzy jelly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is actually quite simple just make your normal jelly as per usual except take a certain amount of liquid out (depending on how many people your serving) and then pour some type of soft drink/soda in it such as coco cola, lemonade, fanta, sprite, flavoured mineral water e.t.c its totally up to you on how crazy you want it to taste! But if you want jelly that still tastes like jelly with a slight fizz to it you can also use plain soda water (wich has no taste to it) and then simply putting it in the fridge until it's set.

What are the ingredients in lemon marmalade?

User Avatar

Asked by Ginezumi

To list the ingredients would be pointless. You need to know the quantities, the order in which to add them, and how long to process the finished product. Suggest you invest a few canning books (Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving is a good one) and use only tested canning recipes. Refer to the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) website, it is an excellent source for current research-based recommendations for most methods of home food preservation and includes many tested recipes.

How many calories in 2 slices of toast with butter and marmalade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2 slices of toast contain roughly 130-150 calories, and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (assuming you used a tablespoon of it on each slice) is about 190-200. Altogether, that would be roughly between 320-350 calories.

Do you need to refrigerate jelly after opening?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

no you don't have to refrigerate the jelly. Mostly the companies that make the jelly say that you have to refrigerate it because if someone were to get food sick from something (anything, not even the jelly) then its likely in this day-n-age of sueing that the jelly company will be sued because they didnt promote "good health" (much like mcdonalds having to put the caution warning that their hot coffee can burn because some manipulative woman in the early 90s sued McDonald for burning herself while drinking the coffee and "not knowing that it would burn". The real reason that you don't have to refrigerate jelly after opening it is because there is a high level of sugar (obviously) and when bacteria get in it (and they get in anything regardless if its refrigerated or not) they die because they lose water from their cells as the water goes to the sugar to satisfy homeostatis (an equillibrium for water concentration). When they lose enough water they shrivel up and die. This is something that the average microbiology student should know but they tend to still refridge it out of habit, much like refrigerating butter (you also don't have to refrigerate this, LOL! for real!)

Although one doesn't need to refridgerate butter, by doing so it will go rancid less quickly.Yes. If you do not refrigerate jelly you can receive salmonella poisoning from the heat of the jelly.

How can you tell if jam is ready to gel?

Asked by Wiki User

My grandmother would take a teaspoon full of the jam from the pot and put it on a saucer. She would blow on it for a few seconds and if it began to gel on the saucer she knew it would set in the jars.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fruit jam?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An advantage of fruit jam would be that it allows the fruit to be preserved and not go bad for an extended period of time. You are able to keep the fruit longer. Another advantage would be that it adds flavor to foods that one might not normally add fruit to. For example, bagels and toast.

A disadvantage of fruit jam would be the process of actually making it. It takes much longer to produce then going to the store and buying one prepackaged. Additionally, creating or buying jam would be more expensive then buying a piece of fruit.

Why does the rind rise in homemade marmalade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fruit will rise if the jam is too hot when you put it into jars. If you allow your jam to cool for 10 - 15 minutes before putting it into jars, it will thicken and the fruit is less likely to rise to the top.

What form of energy are you doing when eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, it really depends what kind of sandwich, and what kind of bread you are using (wholegrain bread has lots of fibre)- but there is always starch in bread which produces alot of energy.

However, if for example you had a:

Ham sandwich- protein from the ham, starch from the bread, calcium & fats from the butter/marge (if you like it like that)

Cheese sandwich- calcium from the cheese, starch from the bread.

ect, ect.

Hope this helps!

Is strawberry conserve the same as strawberry jam?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jams, jellies are very similar, conserves/preserves are different:

  • Jam is made basically from sugar and fresh fruitboiled together until thick
  • Jelly, only the juice of the fruit is used boiled together until thick
  • Conserves (or preserves) the whole fruit is preserved in heavy syrup. Conserves are more syrupy than ordinary jam and much sweeter
