The shelf life of Compotes is therefore much shorter than that of Jam or Marmalade.įruit Jellies: Like Jams, they have a higher quantity of sugar and a gelling process that makes them suitable to be cut. Therefore, it is correct to say “Lemon Marmalade,” but not “Peach Marmalade.”Ĭompote: These preparations are similar to Jam but differ for sugar content, which usually varies between 100-200 grams per kilo of fruit, obtaining a sugar concentration in the recipe of about 13-15%. Marmalade: Like Jam, but it indicates a preparation made with Citrus fruits. Generally speaking, a jam’s final sugar content is about 55-60%, which varies according to the recipe’s sweetness. In that case, we can use the term Extra Jam, also characterized by a lower percentage of added sugar (because it is more sugar contained in fruit). Suppose the percentage of fruit is higher than 45%.
Jam: it is a preparation with a minimum content of 35% fruit and added sugar. If we wanted to make things more precise, we should distinguish:
Then we have Fruit Jellies, which are different from the first ones because they are firm, coated with sugar, and delicious! We use both to indicate a preparation based on fruit and sugar with a spreadable consistency: All true so far! Jam and marmalade are often used indistinctly in everyday language.
