Okay, so the other day I was trying to figure out what fruit is super common in, like, jellies and pies. You know, the usual stuff you find at the grocery store or maybe your grandma’s house.
My Little Experiment
First, I grabbed a few different kinds of jelly from my fridge. I had grape, strawberry, and something that looked kinda reddish – maybe raspberry?
- Grape Jelly: Definitely a classic. Super sweet and, well, grape-y.
- Strawberry Jelly: Another popular one. You see this everywhere.
- Mystery Red Jelly: Could be raspberry, could be cherry. Hard to tell just by looking.
Then, I thought about pies. What fillings do you usually see? Apple pie is a big one, of course. But that didn’t seem quite right for the “jelly” connection.
I remembered those little fruit pies you can get at the store, the ones that are individually wrapped. I checked the labels on a few.
- Saw a lot of “berry” pies.
- Cherry was on some of them.
- Some were mixed fruit.
I even went to the store and browsed down the baking stuff.
I saw a bunch of pie fillings in cans, and after I checked those out I felt confident.
The “Aha!” Moment
Then it hit me. It’s berries! Lots of different kinds of berries show up in both jellies and pies. You’ve got your strawberries, your blueberries, your raspberries… all those guys. They’re sweet, a little tart, and they work great in both.
So, yeah, my totally scientific conclusion is that berries are the big winners when it comes to being commonly found in jellies and pies. Case closed!
