    Jam is a sugary fruit spread, jelly is a wobbly gelatinous solid served at children’s birthday parties

      Do you mean jello or gelatine because neither of those are jelly where I’m from, how dare you

      Just saying, the “tomato sauce” in the cheese pizza Lunchables is so sugary, and with tomato being a berry, is it not closer to being a jelly?

        No, because a jelly has to be strained of the fruit pulp (it’s why jelly is clear), and the fruit usually has to have a high pectin amount in it.

        It would be closer to a jam though. But calling it a pastry would be like declaring your ham is a pastry because you put some apple jelly on it. It takes more than a spread to make it a pastry.

        And the pizza dough doesn’t make it a pastry, this is due to how yeast doughs (fermentation, in pizza dough also typically a high wheat protein count) are different from pastry doughs (high fat content, no yeast). To make an example, it would be like declaring a peanut butter and jam sandwich is a pastry. It’s not.
