    You’re a Canadian and you’ve never seen Welch’s grape jelly, or jelly in general?

      I’ve seen Welch’s gummies before… Never jelly in a squeeze bottle like that though. The jam aisle at most grocery stores I’ve gone to is pretty much just Smuckers and similar jarred jams

        Interesting. We have jars of smucker’s jellies here in America too, but it’s the homogenous seedless kind as described above, same stuff that’s in the squeeze bottle. We don’t really call it “seedless preserves” here though, that’s just implied with jelly. I might call the heterogeneous kind you described “jam” or “preserves” instead of jelly, but that distinction might be a local thing.

          i too, grew up calling it “jam”… preserves were actually the extra heterogeneous variety, usually homemade… and jelly was the congealed, grape flavored, high fructose corn syrup…

          and then there’s apple butter… which is just made out of apples…
