Priority ingredient notes

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for jelly

Jelly is strained fruit juice set with sugar, so it drops the seeds and pulp but keeps the concentrated fruit sugar. That seed-free, clear look is deceptive: it carries the same moderate excess-fructose and FODMAP load as jam, and the salicylates ride along in the juice rather than the skin. Clear does not mean trigger-free.

Watch for

Straining out seeds and pulp does not remove the fruit sugar: jelly still carries a moderate excess-fructose and FODMAP load from the concentrated juice / Salicylates dissolve into the juice, so a clear, seed-free jelly rates borderline on salicylate rather than salicylate-free / Grape and other pale jellies can contain sulfite preservatives, worth checking if you are sulfite-sensitive / It is essentially fruit juice set with sugar, so it lands the same refined-sugar, pro-inflammatory note as jam
