apple jelly

Orchard preserve jar

Apple jelly is a clear, amber-colored preserve made by cooking apple juice with sugar until it sets.

Unlike apple butter or jam, jelly contains no fruit pulp—just the strained juice, giving it a smooth, translucent appearance.

It's spread on toast, used as a glaze for meats, or paired with peanut butter: She made apple jelly from the windfall apples.
