“what exactly do you do with the jelly?”

I have two Oriole feeders that use jelly. They love it! One holds jelly and nectar (sugar water, make it yourself) and the other uses the whole jelly jar, upside down, and there’s a little paddle you turn to feed jelly out onto a platter.

They like Grape jelly best, but have eaten up a jar of plum preserves as well.

Look for those feeders at Walmart or your local hardware store. They’re bright orange.
