Jelly comes from the Old French gelee, “jelly” and also “frost,” from the verb geler, “to congeal,” with its Latin root gelare, “to freeze.”

Jellies are usually made by cooking fruit juice with sugar. Jelly should be clear or translucent and firm enough to hold its shape when turned out of the container. Jams are thick, sweet spreads, which will hold their shape, but are less firm than jelly. They are made from crushed or chopped fruits and sugar.

Powdered gelatin was invented in 1682 by Denis Papin, a French physicist, mathematician and inventor. It made the production of jelly so much easier, and enabled the development of other foods that required stiffening. And that’s why jelly came much later.
