Jelly has 3 meanings for "British English" speakers:

1. A dessert also made with fruit juice and gelatine which you set in the
fridge. Cheap variety is made with "jelly crystals" - basically gelatine,
flavour and colour. Common child dessert (aka sweet, pudding).

2. Sweets (candies), usually fruit flavoured and transluscent. The good
quality ones are made with real fruit juice and gelatine - these are soft
(about like a ripe persimmon) and usually covered in sugar (aka fruit
pastilles). The cheap variety are artificially coloured and flavoured and
are very chewy. You can buy jelly snakes, frogs, rats etc.

3. The clear type of jam previously described on the list.
