  21. Er, no.  Jam and jelly are *NOT* identical here in the U.S.  There are three
  22. related items:
  23.     Jelly:         Made from the juice of the fruit, boiled down into a
  24.             thick consistency;
  25.     Preserves:    Made from the whole fruit, with substantial amuounts of
  26.             the fruit still intact;
  27.     Jam:        Much like preserves, but without the lumps.
