National Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day

June 8th is National Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day in the United States.

This type of food has some different names. Firstly, doughnuts may also be called donuts. Secondly, jelly is also known as jam, depending on the country.

These are not the glazed ring doughnut type, and lack the toroidal "doughnut" shape of that type, but they are still made from deep fried pastry. The inside of the doughnut has been filled with jelly, or jam, which is a preserve made from fruit. Different flavours of fruit filling may be used; two common types in Britain are raspberry and strawberry, but other flavours such as apple can also be found. These doughnuts are often dusted with sugar, but they can be glazed or topped with other confections, just like the ring doughnut.
