Nothing much, really, except that marmalade is usually made from citrus fruits (posh cuisine like onion marmalade excepted) and jam and preserves made from any other fruits that are suitable (i.e contain pectin, which is the agent responsible for making the jam set). The word 'preserves' was, I think, conjured up by some marketing people so that they could stick a few bob on the price, but if you were making any of them in your own kitchen you'd be following very similar procedures, i.e. boiling them up with sugar until they reached the appropriate temperature and setting point.

Preserves have a higher percentage of fruit than jam does. Where marmalade fits in I'm not sure

Starting with jellys, which have the greatest clarity, made from the juice alone, extracted from the fruit, thin and clear enough to drip through a cloth, cooked with sugar. Jams are purees of progressively increasing density. Preserves, marmalades and conserves are bits of fruit cooked to a translucent state in a heavy syrup.
