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?
• 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
…if you’re in the us.

no, the distinction is the same, it’s just that from what i’ve seen of american grape jelly i would call it a jam.
It isn’t a jam, as it has none of the fruit left in it. Its just juice.
Oof I typed a response with 3 recipe links and lost it so I’ll just say jelly is clear bc juice, jam is opaque bc fruit
yeah but the grape stuff is somewhere inbetween. it’s like semi-opaque.
the only jelly readily available here is made from red currants, because it’s a common side to game, and that thing is basically fully see-through.
Apple jelly is clear, and is the base for mint jelly, but I think maybe y’all use mint sauce instead?
never had either. apple sauce is more common.
Apple sauce is common here too but not used as a bread spread. Mint jelly is only used as a condiment for lamb afaik.
