I think the difference in American English is that jam has fruit pieces in but jelly doesn't. In British English they're both called jam, and "jelly" means something different, which in the US is called Jello.


This is jam, because it contains pieces of fruit


Americans would call this jelly, but people from the UK call it jam



In the UK, we call this jelly. Americans call it Jello.

I see jam is more like the food for breakfast, and jelly or jello is more like desert, and usually have mold to shape the form.

 

PS This is really a comment, but I realize the comment won't be shown in the Q/A outline, no one will notice a new commnet has been made.  So I did this using "answering" instead of "comment".
