Marmalade definition: A preserve containing pieces of fruit rind, especially citrus fruit. The original marmalades were made from quince - the Portuguese word marmelada means "quince jam." Now, however, Seville oranges are the most popular fruit for marmalades. http://tinyurl.com/39ysgj Jam definition: Jam is a type of fruit preserve made by boiling fruit with sugar to make an unfiltered jelly. Jam is often spread on bread and also as a culinary sweetener, for example in yogurt. http://tinyurl.com/35vodw Preserves definition: compared with clear fruit jellies and smoother-textured jams, have larger chunks or whole pieces of fruit-such as raspberries, strawberries, and apricots.

Preserves include pickles, chutneys and jams. Jam is a preserve made from the whole fruit and sugar. Jams withou the 'bits' of seeds or skin or peel are Jellies. Orange jam has aquired the distinctive name of marmalade, a name similar to the name for jam in many other European countries.

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. -
