About Jams and preserves
Jam — or preserves — is fruit cooked down with sugar until thick and spreadable, a centuries-old way of capturing a glut of fruit to enjoy long after the season ends. Spread on toast, swirled into yogurt or sandwiched into cakes, it's pure fruity sweetness.
The fruit brings a little of its character and trace nutrients, but jam is defined by its sugar: traditionally close to equal parts fruit and sugar, which makes it sweet and calorie-dense, with most of the fruit's fiber and vitamins diminished in the cooking. Reduced-sugar and 'fruit spread' versions cut some of that back.
A scrape of jam adds a burst of fruity sweetness to toast or baking; like other sugary spreads, it's the amount that matters, and a thin layer goes a long way.
