jelly vs. jam

[Dan Goncharoff]

Just catching up here.

If fruit juice comes from crushing fruit, and jam comes from crushed fruit,
then does orange jam come from the rind left over when I am done squeezing
OJ?

If not, then I don't understand what any of these statements actually mean
in the real world.
