Jelly is older than you may think. During the Crusades, soldiers would often bring home jelly and the methods of making it. It was valuable because it was easily stored and provided energy quickly, so now you can take the Holy Land right after breakfast. The oldest recipe for making fruit preserves comes from the first century A.D. The book that held this recipe was titled De Re Coquinaria which translates to “The Art of Cooking”. Now to add to this useless knowledge you're acquiring, is the difference between jam and jelly. Jam is smoother and clearer than jam which is more opaque and chunkier. There’s also marmalade which is just preserves but made with bitter oranges so there is still some sweetness, but it’s sharper than jam or jelly. This is typically more popular in the U.K. than in the U.S. Jams and jellies tend to be healthier than Marmalade because they contain less sugar and more fiber. In conclusion, these tasty spreads are a great way to wake up and make the Pope proud.
