Jelly is made with juice; jam is made with pureed fruit. So there's more fruit in jam. Spread is a whole different animal.Smuckers makes a seedless strawberry jam. If your grocery store doesn't carry it, they may be willing to order it for you (but you'd probably have to take the whole case of 12). Otherwise, Smuckers does sell online: http://www.smuckers.com/os/default.asp?
