Jam vs Jelly

My favorite Jam or Jelly is Guava Jam or Guava Jelly. Oddly enough I don't like the fruit, but I love the by products.


Guava Jelly starts with fresh guavas, which are grown wild in several rural areas in Jamaica. Picked fresh from the trees, the guavas are processed with cane sugar and pectin. Jelly is usually a clear bright product. Jelly contains no fruit, although if you were to buy a specialty jelly it may have pieces in the jelly.








Guava Jam is made from crushed or chopped fguava cooked with sugar, and often pectin and lemon juice. Jam can be a puree of fruit or have a soft pulp, but it does not contain chunks of fruit.








What is your favorite jam or jelly?

Always remember to take life one day at a time.
