You left a few out. While they are all sweet spreads, and they all consist of fruits preserved mostly by means of sugar and they are thickened or jellied to some extent. Some have enough pectin to gell on their own others need to be helped alone with the addition or pectin.

Jelly made using only the juice of the fruit and sugar. It should be clear and sparkling when finished. Jelly can only be made out of fruits that contain enough pectin, these fruits are, plums, apples, grapes, and berries such as raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries.

Jam is always made from the mashed or cut fruits, cooked to a pulp with sugar, producing a thick, fruity, spread. Marmalades are soft fruit jellies with small pieces citrus peel evenly suspended in a transparent jelly. It is usually made only from bitter citrus fruits such as Seville oranges, lemon and limes or even grapefruit.In England Marmalades are not sweet the way they are here in America....and they are delish.

Preserves on the other hand differ from jam in that the fruit maintains its shape, so strawberry preserves you would find a whole strawberry as an example. Fruit butters are made from fruit pulp cooked with sugar until thickened to a spreadable consistency. Like Apple or Pear butter.

Conserves are preserves made from a mixture of fruits. They usually contain citrus fruit, nuts, and raisins. Last but not least are Fruit Curds which are fruit juice and zest, sugar and egg yolks cooked to a creamy consistancy.

The most popular being Lemon Curd.

Yes there is. This is the source of debate in my household, so I am doing this for the both of us. Preserves = "Fruit cooked with sugar to protect against decay or fermentation" Marmalade = "A clear, jellylike preserve made from the pulp and rind of fruits, especially citrus fruits" Jam = "A preserve made from whole fruit boiled to a pulp with sugar" Jelly = "A soft, semisolid food substance with a resilient consistency, made by the setting of a liquid containing pectin or gelatin or by the addition of gelatin to a liquid, especially such a substance made of fruit juice containing pectin boiled with sugar."

Source: thefreedictionary.com (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition) If you are still confused, welcome to the club. This is how I understand the distinctions, based on having consumed cases of the stuff. FRUIT, you will find whole strawberries in strawberry preserves.

Marmalade is typically made from citrus fruits--orange, grapefruit, lemon, etc. --and contains pieces of the fruit's rind. Jam is a preserve that has been cooked down to a smooth pulp. In my experience, it usually lacks the whole pieces of fruit you will find in preserves.

Jelly is made by thickening fruit juice with pectin or gelatin.In America, grape jelly is a popular spread. It is very thin. It is very much like gelatinous grape juice.

If a was to play a football game,and didn't eat any food before it,would this cause my legs to feel like jelly andweek.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
