halorocks22 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Strawberry jam, one type of common fruit preserve Fruit preserves are preparations of fruits, vegetables and sugar, often canned or sealed for long-term storage. Many varieties of fruit preserves are made globally, including sweet fruit preserves, such as strawberry or apricot, as well as savoury preserves of vegetables, such as tomatoes or squash. The ingredients used and how they are prepared determine the type of preserves; jams, jellies, and marmalades are all examples of different styles of fruit preserves that vary based upon the fruit used. In English the world over the plural form "preserves" is used to describe all types of jams and jellies. Quote Link to comment
Frances Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 That's all good, except for one important distinction you forget to make. Jam is not preserves. Preserves is defined as a sweetened fruit or vegetable preparation in which the main plant body is prepared in chunks. In jams, however, the fruits and/or vegetables are pulped. Therefore, the picture you posted, along with its caption, are factually incorrect. Quote Link to comment
