MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What’s the difference between Jam and Jelly?

Whether you’re having toast for breakfast with some nice jam or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, both are very tasty. But what’s the difference between Jam and Jelly?

Jam is made by mashing up fruit into chunks and the into the “jam”. Jelly is actually made with fruit juice instead of the fruits themselves. Which is why it’s a little more liquid than jam.

Now I’m really craving a peanut butter and jelly.
