¿Qué es Jelly?
Jelly is a clear, fruit-based preserve made from sweetened fruit juice that has been thickened with pectin. It is characterized by its translucent appearance and firm yet spreadable consistency, distinguishing it from jams or preserves which contain fruit pulp.
"The key to a perfectly set jelly lies in the precise balance of fruit acid, sugar, and pectin, as too little or too much of any can result in a runny or overly stiff product."
