This didn't post so I'll send it again.
That might be a problem of how it is defined as it all
becomes somewhat more complicated as the one British dictionary I just
looked at states—
*jam"*
A conserve of fruit boiled to a pulp with sugar; sets to a pectin jelly
on cooling. (Known in the USA as jelly.)
So here we have a Dictionary of Food and Nutrition equating the two as
the same in the USA.
And another book The Oxford Dictionary of American Usuage and Style says
jam=
**
(= [1] a fruit jelly
