Jelly Babies

either way it wouldnt be nice on a PB&J sarnie

Yeah but American jelly is, i think, what we call jam, is it not

my mom used to make both jelly and jam, the only REAL difference is the fiber content, she used to put the fresh plums in the pot, cook it down and remove most of the fiberous bits, skins, seeds, then put the juice in the fridge over night and let the solids settle out in to the bottom of the bowl, then we would carefully use a measuring cup to scoop out the clarified juice, that was the part that would become the jelly, the solids that fell to the bottom would become the jam, and that is the only REAL difference between the two.

But you cant spread jelly on bread, it would fall off

That is half the fun of it.

it all depends on how thick it is, my mom once used too much pectin, and over cooked a batch of jelly, and we still ate it, because it was wasteful to just throw it out, it was black-ish, and had a strong taste, and it was so thick it almost bent the spoons I used to dig it out.

but

this is the only way I can show you what jelly and jam is, first there is this:

Jelly

“Jelly is made from the juice of the fruit only. Fruit is crushed, strained, and then is boiled with sugar and pectin in order to make a spreadable product,” Tucker says. Because all of the chunks of fruit are filtered out, anything from apricot to pear jelly has the same smooth finish when spread.

Jam

“Jams are purées made with fruit; they are thick, but not as firm as jellies,” says Jeff Klean of Lu Austin Preserves. They actually contain crushed fruit pulp, so finished gourmet jams contain bits of fruit and sometimes seeds. If you spread preserves on your toast and it’s a little chunky and uneven, call it jam.

and this is grape jelly:

you can order some and see for your self, yes, you can open the jar and spread it directly on to a piece of untoasted plain white bread, it is easier than spreading peanut butter, grape jelly is one of the most common early foods that kids get started out on.

Our jam is the nice spreadable one with bits in, jelly is the smooth one and it wobbles to the touch, just as your jello does, so, is it jam or jello you put on your sarnies?

think loose jello, jello that hasn't fully solidified, but is close to being solidified , that is pretty close to what I am talking about.

oh no no no no, that would be god awful, not to mention, make a big mess, you want it thin, paper thin almost, you want to try and get a balance between the jelly and the peanut butter, that way you get a nice balance between the two and one doesn't over power the other.party0006.gif

you should, find a jelly, or jam, it is up to you, what ever you like the best, and give it a try.

as for the banana, it is in reference to an old meme that went viral, the full thing is somewhat annoying, but the family guy one is funny.

[pookey]

Oh, he'd get the baseball bat alright, jeez

[The Flyattractor]

Well if you watch Family Guy on a regular basis you Brain is by now a poor grade jelly.

In the Doctor Who: The Official Cookbook: 40 Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Recipes there is a recipe for jelly babies. I can't remember which page it's on but it says you need a jelly baby mold.
