Here on this side of the world jam is what you spread on your bread, toast, waffles, whatever. So what do you call what we call jelly then? The dessert?

My mother was a chef, she calls seedless jam jelly, I went to catering college they called seedless jam jelly there too. I worked in a supermarket they were called jams & jellys there too.
It is possible for more than one thing to have the same name. I'm assuming you've never filled up a chip pan with Castrol GTX because you were confused by the word oil being used for several things.
My mother & the supermarket and the tutor at the collage were English btw.
