Preserves are foods made by bottling a fruits or vegetables with in a liquid that preserves (keep them edible). Jams are a type of preserve, made with fruit (or fruiting vegetables, such as marrows) and sugar. In jam recipes, the jam preserves the fruit. But not all preserves are jam. Marmalade is another sort of sweet preserve, made with citrus fruits. Chutneys and pickles are also preserves. The preserving ingredient is generally vinegar, although sometimes its very salt water.

Answer 3

Lumps. My husband pointed this out to me just this week and told me to buy "unlumpy" stuff! He's a hoot, I had no idea I was ruining his snacking with lumpy stuff. BUT, I will say, he waited until the jar was empty before telling me so as to not waste food, gotta respect that guy!

Answer 4

i think you mean preserves and in preserves the fruit is left more whole rather than sliced or chopped up but the jelling or canning process is still the same.
