A jelly is a sweet or savoury food gel, usually made through the addition of gelatin or pectin to edible liquids.

Sweet jellies include pectin-based fruit jam or gelatin desserts such as Jell-O and blancmange. Savoury jellies include aspic or plain gelatine. Vegetarians and Vegans make jellies using agar, which is made from seaweed as opposed to animal collagen-based gelatin.

In the United States, the usual distinction between "jelly" and jam is that the latter contains visible seeds or pieces of fruit, whereas the former does not. Jam is also often thicker and more spreadable. The traditional process of making jelly called for the cooked ingredients to be put into a cloth bag. The liquid that drained through the bag without squeezing could be made into a transparent jelly; the remaining thick contents in the bag could be made into jam. Gelatine desserts are not ordinarily referred to as "jelly" in the US, and it is rare (though not unheard of) to use the term for savoury foods of any description. Mayhaw jelly is a delicacy in parts of the American South.
