What’s called “jelly” in America is called “jam” in England, and the English call the American’s “gelatin”, “jelly”! But, any way you slice it — spread some fruit preserves over cake, top with a gelled fruity confection, sweetened, stovetop-thickened milk, and whipped cream — and you’ve got trifle!
