It Must be Jelly, ‘Cause Jam Don’t Shake Like That!

Here in the rehab, we're served toast or English muffins with breakfast, accompanied by a tiny .05 oz. sealed cup of so-so jelly. It made me think: I didn't know the difference between jelly, jam, and preserves. Quite a few people I asked didn't know either, especially guys. Here's what I use now and how they differ. -Jelly (L): Cooked fruit juice with sugar and thickened with pectin. -Jam (M): Crushed fruit cooked with sugar. Pectin is in the fruit. Less of a gelled texture that jelly. -Preserves (R): Cooked fruit with sugar. Fruit is in medium to large chunks.

Kevin Henry Crushin On Sista Felicia’s Rosa Rugosa Jelly

Hi Joey,

Last time up there we stopped @ "Stuff" on Main St. and bought a jar. It was worth saving for the holidays !

Happy New Year…

(going to Fla. to thaw out after the plunge ?)

Best,

Kevin & Vanessa
