- Conserve: Thick, chunky spread cooked with dried fruits and nuts.
- Fruit butter: Creamy, smooth, often opaque spread made from sugar and fruit that is slow-cooked.
- Jam: A thick mixture of fruit, sugar and pectin that is boiled quickly until the fruit is soft.
- Jelly: A clear but firm spread made from fruit juice, sugar, pectin and citric acid; can be made with ingredients other than fruit such as herbs, flowers, vegetables, liqueurs or tea.
- Marmalade: A spread made from citrus, including the peel, containing no pectin and cooked for a long time.
- Preserve: Jelly that contains chunks of fruit. Yes, ours has chunks of strawberries!
