Appledale Orchards- Jams, Jellies, Preserves, Spreads and Butters
In jelly, the fruit contained is in the form of juice. That’s why it’s more gelatinous and easier to spread – it’s just goo (juice and pectin, technically).
In jam, the fruit contained is in the form of pulp. So, your grape jam actually does have some thoroughly smashed-up pieces of grapes.
In preserves, the fruit contained is in the form of larger chunks. Jam and preserves are basically the same thing with a few minor difference and the terms are often used interchangeably.
The term “marmalade” is usually applied to citrus preserves.
Oh and “fruit spread”? That’s just a jam or preserve made without sugar.
