Jelly, jam, preserves, conserves, marmalades and fruit butters are
similar products. All are made from fruit, preserved by sugar
and thickened or gelled to some extent.
To gel properly, sweet
spreads must contain the right combination of fruit, pectin, acid and
sugar. The fruit gives each spread its unique flavor and color.
Fruit also supplies the water needed to dissolve the other ingredients
and some or all of the pectin and acid. Good quality, flavorful
fruits make the best sweet spreads.
For your sweet tooth, our
jelly and jam recipes will not only show you how to make your own
preserves, but will all give you many recipes which use the preserves
