--- MARMALADE ---

Jelly, Jam, Preserves, Marmalades, Spreads:
...What are the differences between jelly, jam, preserves, marmalades and spreads?
The main difference between jelly, jam, preserves, spreads, etc. is consistency.

NOTE:
Standards are set by the Food and Drug Administration for jellies, jams and preserves only.

Jelly:
Jelly is a clear, bright product. It is generally made by cooking fruit juice and sugar with pectin as a jelling agent and lemon juice as an acid to maintain a consistent texture.

NOTE: Generally, jelly contains no pieces of fruit. Note however, specialty jellies-like pepper jelly may include pieces of pepper.

Jam:
Jam is made from crushed or chopped fruit cooked with sugar and often pectin and lemon juice. Jam can be a puree of fruit or have a soft pulp, but it does not contain chunks of fruit.

Preserves:
Preserves are fruit cooked with sugar to the point where large chunks of fruit or whole fruit, such as berries, are suspended in a syrup base. The texture of preserves is not smooth like jelly or jam.

Marmalade:
Marmalade is a soft jelly, often citrus-based, that includes both the flesh and peel of the fruit suspended throughout the jelly base.

Fruit Spread:
Fruit Spread is generally a reduced-calorie product made with fruit juice concentrate and low-calorie sweeteners replacing all or part of the sugar.
