-Jelly (L): Cooked fruit juice with sugar and thickened with pectin.
-Jam (M): Crushed fruit cooked with sugar. Pectin is in the fruit. Less of a gelled texture than jelly.
-Preserves (R): Cooked fruit with sugar. Fruit is in medium to large chunks.
It Must be Jelly, ‘Cause Jam Don’t Shake Like That!

My favorite is blueberry preserves. My sister (painter Barb) and I would stay with Grandma Astrid for a month every summer in her NJ log cabin. Mornings, we would come down to the kitchen, which was the only room with heat (the cooking stove), and watch grandma make our breakfast. We ate on the screened porch, often dressed in heavy sweaters. The menu was hot tea with milk, soft boiled eggs, and toast covered with blueberry preserves. We picked those blueberries in the woods. It was was then and still is very special, and that’s why blueberry preserves are my favorite, and the jar is almost empty in this photo!
