US Jelly = fruit juice + sugar + pectin Jam = fruit pulp + sugar + pectin Preserves = whole fruit (minus stones) + sugar + pectin "Jello" = artificial fruit flavored, and colored gelatin Gelatin = unflavored, and uncolored mass produced powdered or sheet collagen Aspic = natural forming gelatin in a stock
It is still being updated everyday with new foodie stuff. Not always new recipe videos... but also skills videos, competitions, blogs, meal packs... plus we're still doing 2 recipes and a FridgeCam each week here on YT.
I totally ran to the kitchen to make these moments after watching, and am now enjoying one for breakfast, not the most nutritious start, but definitely the most delicious! First sorted recipe I've followed, so easy, and great results!!
There are so many recipes on the site that so many people haven't yet seen... plus with over 300 we know there is something for everyone. And on top of that... we'll continue adding to the stock of videos with 2 new ones every week plus FridgeCam!
I think it is adorable how much you love peanut butter. When I was a bit younger I was pretty sure that people outside the US thought peanut butter was pretty weird and gross but it appears to have conquered the UK...
Preserves is a general name. Jams and Jellies (and chutneys, marmalades etc) ARE preserves. Fruit spreads is just a name for preserves with no added sugar.
Most of the people below are wrong. There are three types of fruit spread in the US and each is made differently. Jelly here is made with juice ONLY, Jam is made with pureed fruit, and Preserves are made with chunks of fruit. Simple.
Okay, so jam and jelly here (the US) are basically the same thing. They essentially taste the same, the difference being that jelly is usually completely smooth (no seeds) and is incredibly difficult to spread on soft bread, whereas jam is very easy to spread and is usually made from fresher fruits. What people in the UK call jelly, we call Jell-o, which is the name brand that we use most, so that's what we call it, like the way a lot of people call tissues kleenex, even though kleenex is a brand and not a thing.
Fobaku TheAnimeFob The major difference is Jelly is strained - having no bits of fruit or seeds, where jam contains bits of fruit and seeds. Marmalade usually has the rind of the fruit in it, seperating itself into a type of jam. Depending on the recipe, both may or may not contain gelatin. The use of gelatin depends on the type of fruit used. High pectin fruits usually don't need extra gelatin added as they create their own gelatin type substance.
I've been watching you guys for awhile now but this was the first recipe that I decided to try! I LOVED it! I'm actually making more later so I can try some different types of jelly. This will for sure be the first of many I hope to do. All your stuff looks so fun to make and so yummy! :D
In the U.S, we have both jelly and jam. We eat peanut butter and jelly because it uses fruit *juice* , so its smoother and sometimes sweeter. Jam, however, uses *crushed fruit* so its more lumpy and has more seeds.
This video man. This video. It's from 2012 and it has such a beautiful quality! Good job, and keep it up! (The recipe is so good, I tried it, it's GORGEOUS!) ;)
Ahhh... slight confusion.... sorry! We're doing daily content on the website - but they aren't all recipe videos. Keep an eye on our Facebook page so you don't miss a thing!
We have daily food content... but not always videos. With over 300 we know there is something for everyone. But we will still be bringing you 2 NEW recipes per week and a FridgeCam.
Made it...came out fantastic, very yummy. I found it easier mixing the dough with my hand, also leaving it in the oven for an extra five minutes made it less likely to crumble, thanks for the recipe
Ben: "you can have some later" Ben had a wee motherly tone there! haha! Love you guys! Will have to try this peanut butter jelly cookies soon! :) Thank you!
Here in the U.S., Jelly is a thick gelatinous structure thatnis more more squishing that spreading. Jam is a direct by-product from fruits and is usually preserved into a moldale and spreadable kind of fruit sauce.
Americans make jelly with the juice of the fruit. American jams are made with crushed or smashed fruits. Jam is best made with fresh fruits, however, it can be made with frozen. Both contain pectin. What you call jelly, we call jello. This is a fruit flavored gelatin based mold, that sometimes contains fruits or vegetables.
Loving the facial fuzz Barry .. looking good! ;) Those cookies look amazing! .. or as we call them in Oz .. biscuits! :D Cookies/biscuits .. jelly/jam .. doesn't matter where you're from or what you refer to them as ... they all taste good :)
Hey guys! I live in the states and wanted to tell you that in America, we have 3 different kinds of jams: jelly, jam, and preserves. Jelly does not have chunks of fruit or seeds, which is what PB&J is traditionally made with. Huge fan :-)!
you can also take the same dough and instead of making a thumbprint and putting in jelly, roll them into a ball and press a Hershey's kiss into it. bake it, let them cool. i make them every year for Christmas and remember making them with my mom and grandma. they are awesome
Suggest to add the peanut butter when creaming the brown sugar and butter. Makes it incorporate much easier. The addition of a teaspoon of vanilla essence really is great!
In America, "jam" is a fruit preserve that has pits or seeds in it, like with strawberries/blackberries/blueberries etc. I guess more like marmalade. "Jelly" is the smoother, seedless and skinless preserve made with grape/apple/apricot etc. We call the wobble dessert "jello" usually, or just gelatin. Jell-O is the name of the brand, so some people apply it to all wobble desserts. Like how some people call all cotton buds "q-tips"
There are three main fruit spreads. Jelly, jam, and preserves. Jelly is more of a gelatin consistency without pieces of fruit in it. Jam is thick but much easier to spread, it can be sort of pulpy with lots of small bits of fruit. Preserves often have big chunks of fruit in them but are not thick like jam, it is much more liquidy (that isn't really a word but who cares). I hope this helps with your confusion. If you don't know what fruit butter is but would like to just let me know.
Jam contains pieces of whole fruit, skins, and in the case with some berries the seeds as well. Jelly is just the juice of the fruit. Pectin is added to both to help them keep their shape and make them spreadable rather than pourable.
Hello~ I just tried these and they were delicious. I was wondering if you guys could do a video on Madeleines. You guys make your recipes so easy to follow that I want to try a sorted version of everything! Haha. Thanks so much! Eileen xx
In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result). In preserves, the fruit comes in the form of chunks in a syrup or a jam.
Best cookies I've ever had were a sugar cookie with jam covered and hidden in the middle. So soft, so good. I just knew them as christmas cookies. I'll have to try this recipe.
Jam is also known as fruit preserves here in America. Jam usually contains actual pieces of fruit. Jelly is usually made with a fruit juice concentrate like apple and grape. The do not contain any prices of fruit...
In Britain and even Australia, which is where I'm from jelly is considered the dessert that contains gelatine and wobbles :P Jam can be both with fruit, chunky and uneven, but also when it is smooth. Jam is the name of the spread, regardless of texture.
Jelly- it looks a lot like jello (wobbly dessert) and has a similar consistency, no seeds usually made from juice Jam- made from real fruit, mashed up and boiled with sugar etc.
What you described is exactly the same as in the UK. Does that mean that the gelatine dessert is what's put in sandwiches with peanut butter? I've never understood this :p
No, Most of the Fruit is strained out so it's primarily the sugar and the Juices that the Pectin acts on. So in the end you have a MUCH smoother consistency making it Jelly as opposed to Jam or Preserves.
im sure someone already answered their question but we call it jelly because the manufacturer's make it so that is wobbly like jello. There is jam here as well which i prefer. but the former is more common so everyone calls it jelly.
hey guys, just came across ur videos yesterday and i'm loving what you guys are doing. I'm training to become a chef and wondering is it easy 2 set up your own website and do vlogs too make a bit of money on the side.
They are actually two different products/styles here. We have traditional Jam. But jelly is a more gelatin-used version of jam. I think its a texture thing, as they taste exactly the same.
TLC says: Jelly, jam and preserves are all made from fruit mixed with sugar and pectin. The difference between them comes in the form that the fruit takes. In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result). In preserves, the fruit comes in the form of chunks in a syrup or a jam.
this looks really great and easy ..will give it a try but i don't have brown sugar at hand...could i substitute it with granulated sugar or perhaps powdered sugar? and i'm guessing the quantity of white sugar will vary from that of brown sugar when i substitute?
Very nice! I had a friend from London who thought I was crazy for liking peanut butter and jelly. I always thought that was funny, because I thought everyone liked pb&j. It didn't occur to me that we don't eat the same things ..until she told me so lol.
Lol... we confused ourselves. Basically until it's cold enough to mould. About an hour in the fridge of (like we did to speed up filming) 15 minutes in the freezer.
Okay lets take strawberries for example Jelly- made with just the juice from the strawberries Jam- Made with the entire strawberry minus the green leaves so it is a more opaque mixture Jell-o-- Gelatin and strawberry flavoring and coloring.
Jelly is clear because only the fruit juice is used, the best example is grape jelly which is "the" jelly in peanut butter and jelly. If you include the crushed fruit then it is called jam. And using the whole fruit gives preserves.
Hi, I have baked a tray of wonderful cookies thanks to your recipe. However, after that, my cookies get softer and softer.. and now they don't taste like cookies any more... May you share some tips on how to store crispy cookies?
Hi guys, LOVE them - but had a little hiccup - I put the volume out while cooking (music was up on another channel) and you have a 15 minutes graphic at the point where you say to put it in the fridge; since the volume was low, I didn't hear Ben say 'an hour', and so my cookies didn't set. Still, it was a remarkably tasty peanut butter and jam mess (as the hot jam drilled a hole through!). I served it in layers with fresh jam, and it was still very well received!
US
Jelly = fruit juice + sugar + pectin
Jam = fruit pulp + sugar + pectin
Preserves = whole fruit (minus stones) + sugar + pectin
"Jello" = artificial fruit flavored, and colored gelatin
Gelatin = unflavored, and uncolored mass produced powdered or sheet collagen
Aspic = natural forming gelatin in a stock
If you mean replacing the butter...not sure how it will work but worth giving it a go!
Ahem.
Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!
I'll see myself out...
+Ruth Hadley Yes, thank you.

Yep, wrap it up well in Clingfilm or silicon paper... then it'll be fine in the freezer for up to 3 months.
You guys deserve much more views than you've got at the moment. All your videos are quality!
Agreed!
Of course! :D

Is the jelly made with gelatin?
Fobaku TheAnimeFob Maybe partially, but I've never made it or looked closely at the ingredients so I don't know. But it's not the same as jello.
Ok thanks i just thought that, that maybe the defining difference
Fobaku TheAnimeFob I'm not sure. Maybe.
Fobaku TheAnimeFob The major difference is Jelly is strained - having no bits of fruit or seeds, where jam contains bits of fruit and seeds.

i definitely, legitimately love you guys.
loved making these guys! thanx for such a recipe! :D
It will be tomorrow... the link from here should still work though.
Ooops - basically it needs to go in the fridge until it's cold enough to handle. I guess the time might vary depending on how cold your fridge is.
We have Bakewell slices on our website... that any good?

We want to see pictures when you do!
yep... plain flour and a tsp fo baking powder
Here in the U.S., Jelly is a thick gelatinous structure thatnis more more squishing that spreading. Jam is a direct by-product from fruits and is usually preserved into a moldale and spreadable kind of fruit sauce.
By mixing 250g/1 cup of plain flour with 1 tsp baking powder!
It might be called cake flour .... Or, you can make your own self-raising flour by mixing 250g/1 cup of plain flour with 1 tsp baking powder!

Jam has whole fruits and jelly is just the fruit syrup without fruit bits, by the way, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You guys are awesome!!

Nutella would be amazing!

A little... but they should still be slightly mounded.
I love your tip of using chocolate chips! Gonna make some right now!! :) Thanks!
Baked these and they tasted fantastic!
Would this work the same if I added the jam after it baked?
i'm so making these this weekend! love your channel!

Making these delicious pb&j cookies for christmas 🙌😋
Jelly is smooth like a gelatin. Jam in the US is something like berry preserves.

woah never thought of actually putting jam in to a cookie! I bet this is delicious!

and i'm guessing the quantity of white sugar will vary from that of brown sugar when i substitute?

You can leave it out but the cookies won't be as light and fluffy!

HOW DID I NEVER THINK OF THIS?! Many thanks.
I've been wanting to make peanut butter cookies for ages, thanks boys
Sorted are just JELLY of the awesome name for the stuff.
OH SNAP.
my roommate at uni and myself really love peanut butter and jam!!! I'm so going to do these someday and amaze her :P

Is it crispy / chewy?
