Jelly is a soft, translucent food made by boiling fruit juice with sugar and a gelling agent such as pectin. It’s commonly used as a spread for bread, toast, or scones, and is often enjoyed as part of breakfast or snacks. Unlike jam, jelly is smooth and clear, with no fruit chunks, offering a refined texture and sweet flavor. Grape, strawberry, and apple are some of the most popular jelly flavors. It can also be used in desserts, glazes, or fillings for pastries. In culinary terms, jelly can refer to both sweet and savory preparations, including meat jellies made from stock and gelatin. Homemade jellies are often preserved in jars and stored for long periods. Whether store-bought or made at home, jelly remains a staple in many households around the world for its convenience, flavor, and versatility in cooking and baking.
