    Question #39247. mibmob asks:

    What is the exact difference between jam and marmalade?




    McGruff

    Cecil Adams says, "Jelly is made from fruit juice and so has no fruit bits. Jam is made by boiling fruit and does have fruit bits. Preserves are basically the same as jam unless you buy them from Smucker's, in which case if it's got seeds in it, it's preserves, and if it doesn't, it's jam. Marmalade typically is a citrus-based preserve, sometimes containing the rind, but other fruits can be used. Apple and peanut butter are called that because they bear a resemblance to dairy butter. But if you want to call it apple jam (as opposed to apple jelly, which is made from juice), fine by me. http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a951124a.html

    Q: What is the difference between a jam, a preserve, a jelly and marmalade?

    A: This is a common question. A jam and preserve are the same -- they contain chunks of fruit or pureed fruit. A jelly is made from the juice of the fruit and a marmalade is a jelly with suspended citrus rind. http://www.waldoward.com/berry.htm And if you're still confused about which is what, don't read this one. I had to include it simply because it was so poorly written! "Have you ever wondered what the difference is between jam and jelly? Jelly is a clear bright mixture made from fruit juice, sugar and often pectin. Jam is a thick puree mixture of fruit, sugar and often pectin. Both are scrumptious. What is the difference between preserves and marmalades? Preserves are almost identical to jam but has chunks of fruit. Jam is a thick puree mixture of fruit, sugar and often pectin. Marmalade is similar to a preserve, but usually contains citrus fruit rind. And jelly is a clear bright mixture made from fruit juice, sugar and often pectin. Enjoy!" http://www.greatfoodz.com/category/1/
