How do jam and jelly differ?
The primary difference between jam and jelly involves the contents. Jam is made from whole fruit, meaning every edible part of the fruit is involved, while jelly is made from fruit juices. Jam is a thick, chunky spread, while jelly is a thinner, more evenly-textured spread. Jams may include things like seeds and pieces of fruit skin which create a very distinctive texture, setting them apart from jellies. Because jam includes whole fruit, it tends to have more of the vitamins and minerals found in the parent fruit, and it is also usually only made with one type of fruit, whereas jellies may involve a blend of juices

I went to a reception for a friend & Texas Pepper Jams had an appetizer plate of 4 jams over cream cheese with crackers. I don't really like hot & peppery foods but these were delicious. Just the right amount of pepper with sweet. My favorite flavors were the Orange Ginger Habanera & Blackberry Keylime Habanera. I heard Texas Pepper Jams will have a booth in Goliad, Texas this Saturday. I plan to drive over & buy a pick 3 for my next get together. Will let you know how that goes.
