How come grapes are made into jelly while strawberries are made into jam?!
Especially if we have seeded grapes, it is easier to simply collect the juices of cooked grapes and jell them by cooking them with sugar to the setting point. Otherwise we would need to remove the seeds by hand.
If we have seedless grapes suitable for cooking, then we can make either jelly or jam. The jelly would be made, using the technique mentioned. However, grape jam would be made by putting the cooked fruit with its skin into a mixie and obtaining a puree to be cooked with sugar to the jelling point. It would not be clear like jelly, but is delicious also!
Traditionallly, strawberry jam is made by cooking the fruit with sugar. That is simple. However, it is possible to make strawberry jelly by cooking the fruit without sugar, then straining the juices through a fine cloth (without pressing on the fruit or the juices will not run clear), and cooking them with sugar to the jelling point, again obtaining a clear jelly. It is a more difficult procedure, since it involves straining out some pulp and the seeds, the choice being a matter of taste.

Grapes are made into jam as well, which I prefer. It's probably because of the problem of obtaining pure strawberry juice. Too much of the berry would be wasted to do so.
you can make grape jam and strawberrie jelly just follow the recipie.
They're not. Jam is different than jelly, regardless of what the flavor is.

You can make grape jam and strawberry jelly. Maybe grape jam is not as popular because people don't like to actually eat pieces of grape.
