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.

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.

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.

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.

Essentially marmalade is a jam. However, most jams are intended to be smooth and sweet, whereas marmalade is intentionally chunky and bitter.

marmalades are made with the peel while orange jam is made with the fruit inside instead of the peel.

I thought that a marmalade was made with citrus fruit which includes the peel.

Marmalade is a kind of jam but it's not made with the inside of the fruit. It's made from the peels.

Marmalade is named after the Spanish word for jam - marmalada - and marmalade is made from bitter Spanish oranges; it's that simple

Yes - it is essentially orange jam. Interestingly, the german word for jam is : Marmelade.The word 'marmelade' comes from the portuguese word marmelo, which means quince. Thus, the original marmelade was a quince "jam". It was later made with other fruits - notable seville oranges. Seville oranges are quite bitter or tart, and do not lend themselves to be eaten as oranges, but they respond well to being made into marmelade, due to the large amount of sugar required.
