These food products are made by boiling fruit and sugar to a thick consistency without keeping the shape of the fruit. Jam is based on either one or a variety of fruits.  The fruit is cooked until tender and then sugar is added.  The mixture should be cooked until it is thick enough to spread. A conserve is a preserve made from whole or large pieces of fruit.  The cooking process is the same as for jam.

The best fruits to use when making jams and preserves are those that have a good acid and pectin balance such as grapes, grapefruit, lemons, limes, currants, quinces and sour oranges.  With fruits high in pectin but low in acid such as sweet apples, sweet guavas and sweet quinces, lemon juice can be added to improve the setting qualities.

Fruits low in pectin and high in acid are pineapples, apricots and rhubarb.  To increase the pectin quantity, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice should be added for each kilogram of fruit.  There are fruits that are low in both acid and pectin and are not suitable for jam making without adding suitable fruit.  These include pears, melons, sweet peaches, cherries and most berries.

Jellies are made on the same principle as jam, but the fruit is strained so that it is clear and translucent.  It should be firm enough to hold its own shape, yet soft enough to quiver when cut. The amount of jelly resulting will be quite a bit less than for jam made with the same amount of fruit.


Marmalade is a clear jelly preserve made with small pieces of rind suspended in it.

It is made of citrus fruits or a combination of fruits (one being citrus).  The name apparently originated from the Portuguese word for quince, marmelo.
