fruit jelly

Sweet jarred spread

Fruit jelly is a clear, firm spread made by cooking fruit juice with sugar and pectin until it sets.

Unlike jam, jelly contains no fruit pieces—just the strained juice, giving it a smooth, translucent consistency: She spread grape jelly on her toast.

Common flavors include grape, apple, and strawberry.
