Jelly = gelatinized fruit juice. Jam = gelatinized pureed fruit. Preserves = gelatinized fruit. Jello = a name brand for kid stuff (gelatinzed Kool Aid?). :)

see, Shel, the way i always understood it is that what you guys call "jello" is what we in Oz call "jelly", so if someone says "pb and j" sandwich, that to me is peanut butter and flavoured gelatine (you know, the stuff that you put in a mould and wobbles on the plate, not an ounce of fruit in sight)! jam/preserves always have fruit in them don't they, and that is what we generally eat on toast? at least in australia they do - which leaves me with one question, if what we call jam/preserves is just that, and what you call "jello" is what we call "jelly", then what the heck is the stuff that YOU call "jelly"....?!? lol...
