Jam; the most popular fruit spread in the US and which is often confused with Jelly and Preserves is actually a combination or derivative of both. Jam is made from chopped or slightly puréed fruit rather than fruit juice like jelly or whole/large chunked fruit like you’d find in preserves. Jam’s consistency is usually less firm than jelly but more spreadable than preserves with a texture that is still smooth but coarser due to it containing stuff like fruit seeds and skin in addition to the fruit pieces.
