    Okay that makes total sense then. The fruits you listed I have mostly seen as jam or marmalade or preserves rather than jelly.

    As a person who doesn’t like grape seeds or squashy grapes I don’t think I’d like grape jam. I wonder if a winery with extra grape juice made the first grape jelly?

    Concord grapes don’t make great wine, but their growers are probably doing better than the fine wineries right now with the wine glut and people pinching pennies with cheap food like PBJs for the kids.

    I grew up in a strawberry town and make my own strawberry jam using my mom’s recipe. So even though the “iconic American PBJ” uses grape jelly we always had strawberry jam in ours.
