Fruit preserves

Fruit preserves are like a sweet and fruity spread that you put on toast, bagels, or crackers. It's made by taking fresh fruits like strawberries, peaches, or blueberries and cooking them with sugar and water until they become a thick and jam-like consistency.

When fruit preserves are made, the fruit is heated and cooked until they become soft and mushy. Sugar is added to help preserve the fruit, and the mixture is boiled to help it all stick together. This process helps to preserve the fruit’s natural flavors, colors, and textures for a longer time.

Preserves are different from jams and jellies because they contain chunks of fruit pieces in the spread, while jams are made from mashed fruits and jellies are made from fruit juice.

So, when you spread a spoonful of fruit preserves on your toast, you can enjoy the sweet and fruity taste and feel the texture of the chopped fruit pieces in every bite!
