To us jelly is gelatin, water, sugar, and food coloring, as you'd put in a trifle.
Jam is a preserve of fruits, in a jar, with pectin, maybe extra sugar, and all that.
Posh jam is called "conserve" or summat like that.
Marmalade is simply a jam of citrous fruits, such as orange, lemon.
Jello n'exist pas.
