The difference between Jam, Jelly, Marmalade, & Conserves

January 28, 2011 By Kelli and Holli Leave a Comment

Dreamsicle Jelly

When I first started canning, I often wondered what the difference between jelly, jam, marmalade was.  Then, I was introduced to the term conserve and could not figure out what the heck that was and how it fit into my sweet biscuit topping world!  I searched the internet and found most information to be less…

Cherry Jam Chocolate Cupcakes from Kelli's Kitchen

Cherry Jam Chocolate Cupcakes!! We love cupcakes at our house.  My husband loves them more than just about anything.  Not the wonderful works of art that you get at cupcake bakeries these days.  Nope, my plain-palate husband loves the old-fashioned kind moms used to make for bake sales.  I, on the other hand, love new…

Apricot Jam and Jelly Recipe

After I finished the marmalade, I used 6 cups of apricot puree I prepared yesterday and made some great apricot jam.  Oddly, it looks a great deal like the apricot orange marmalade I made earlier unless you look closely.  I wasn’t able to discern it very well  with the camera, sorry.  Then, with the juice I poured…

Apricot Orange Marmalade

Whew!  The weekend is finally winding down.  I’ve had a roast and potatoes in the slow cooker all day and I’m looking forward to eating and watching the next-to-the-last football game of the year.
