I was thinking as I was eating my PB&J earlier...I bet there is a a good sized debate over which "J" is better, Jelly or Jam. "If you have to choose -- jam or jelly? Both are made from fruit mixed with sugar and pectin. Pectin is found in the cell walls of most fruit, which when heated gives jam and jelly their thickness. 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." (salaswildthoughts.blogspot.com)
Statistics can show anything, so we won't rely on them. Here are my thoughts...
1. Jam is easier to spread than jelly.
2. No one likes to "Jelly", but everyone likes to "Jam!"
3. From the website http://strawberryplants.org - "For the nutritionally minded, however, jams contain many more beneficial nutrients and are preferred because of that fact."
Well...there you have it. I like Jam. Tell me which you like better!
Jam is my choice too. It has a better flavor and a thicker consistency. The flavor jives better with the peanut butter. Love the science of jelly vs jam!
