Its smooth texture allows it to spread easily.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to jam, jelly is made from fruit juice, resulting in a smoother, clearer texture without any fruit pulp or seeds. This specific jelly uses Concord grapes, which have a more intense, musky flavor profile than other grape varieties often used in preserves.
