Fun Fact: Jams and jellies are not synonymous! Check out the difference between a few of the most common fruit spreads:
- Jam: thick, spreadable, made with chopped or mashed fruit pieces
- Jelly: smooth, clear, made with fruit juice and no fruit pieces
- Preserves: thick, syrupy, made with whole or large chunks of fruit
- Fruit Butter: smooth, spreadable, made with pureed fruit
