    I do not know the British counterpoints, but in the US:

    Jelly is clear, solid, no fruit bits,
    Jam in not clear, with bits of fruit.
    These two are used as a spread, such as on toast.

    Jello is a brand name for a company that makes pudding and gelatin dessert mixes.

    I hope someone posts the British versions, I am curious.
