I bought strawberry Jelly the other day. I was disappointed when I got home and realized that I hadn't purchased what I thought I had. I wanted chunks of strawberry in my jelly - the kind of spreadable stuff that resembles whatever your mom makes. Turns out, that is either named Jam or Preserves. Now I know.
Only took me 9 years on my own to figure that one out.
As an excuse for my ignorance, I usually stick to raspberry or blackberry which isn't ever a jelly. Strawberry is complicated - so I was thrown off and my usual just grabbing whatever looks cheap and will pair nicely with peanut butter or spread on toast, didn't end up working out for me.
Happily, as with most mistakes that happen, I'll be less likely to repeat it.

this post made me laugh. maybe you already looked at something like this, but i thought it was interesting. i also figured out the jam/jelly difference fairly recently, but i didn't really know the difference between jam and preserves and marmalade. maybe you already looked at something like this, but i thought it was interesting. jam/jelly/preserves/marmalade
