In case you were wondering what the difference is between jelly, jam and preserves:
Jelly, jam and preserves are all made from fruit mixed with sugar and pectin. The difference between them comes in the form that the fruit takes.
In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice.
In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result).
In preserves, the fruit comes in the form of chunks in a syrup or a jam.

I am all about the preserves. Not a fan of jam and despise jelly!
I grew up eating homemade jam, so when I got married and Scott wanted preserves I went to the store and bought him jam.. clearing not the same thing, but it was all I knew!
Now, I can have an intelligent conversation with my peers!
Preserves can also be defined as NASTY. I hate the chunks. If I wanted chunky crap, I would just eat the fruit.
That being said, I love strawberry jam from Smuckers. Yes, you can call me picky.
I am with Ruth Anne on this one!!
