In the US:
So, is jelly in the U.S what we would call jam ?
Jelly is made from fruit juice. It's blobby and has no solid bits in it.
Jam is made from fruit pulp or fruit chopped up in tiny pieces. It spreads better than jelly.
Preserves are made from chunks of fruit. Not so spreadable, but often delicious.
We still have a copy of that book- I remember this book Dana Jean! It was a great book
1. What colour is your hair (if you have any that is)? Kind of Strawberry Blonde, like me.
2. Have you travelled much? Just in the U.S.; except for a train ride in Sault Ste. Marie.

My mom has several really lovely pieces of that, handed down from my great grandma
I have a couple of pink pieces that I've picked up at thrift shops--nice stuff, graceful
My mom has several really lovely pieces of that, handed down from my great grandma
I love it! My grandmother found a sugar bowl and lid that was in her mother's things and thought I might like it. She was not into what she called "that old stuff" (ie: any antique). I did some research and realized that the lid alone (at that time) was worth over $100!
It's amazing that so much of it has lasted this long. It's always such a treat to find a new piece, although I think eBay has taken alot of the adventure away from the hunt.
