Jam is probably like your jelly in the US. Conserves are real pieces of fruit in a jelly like substance.
Jelly is the strained flavor of the fruit...no actually fruit pieces. Jam has fruit pieces in it.
Fruit preserves refers to fruits or vegetables that have been prepared and canned for long term storage. The preparation of fruit preserves traditionally involves the use of pectin as a gelling agent, although sugar or honey may be used as well. There are various types of fruit preserves made globally, and they can be made from sweet or savory ingredients.
The terms jam and jelly are used in different parts of the world in different ways.
Properly, the term jam refers to a product made with whole fruit, cut into pieces or crushed. The fruit is heated with water and sugar to activate the pectin in the fruit. The mixture is then put into containers.
Jelly is made by a similar process, with the additional step of filtering out the fruit pulp after the initial heating. A cloth "jelly bag" is traditionally used as a filter.
"Good jelly is clear and sparkling and has a fresh flavor of the fruit from which it is made. It is tender enough to quiver when moved, but holds angles when cut.
A third term, fruit butter, is used in this context to refer to a process where the whole fruit is forced through a sieve or blended after the heating process.
Fruit butters are generally made from larger fruits, such as apples, plums peaches or grapes. Cook until softened and run through a sieve to give a smooth consistency. After sieving, cook the pulp...add sugar and cook as rapidly as possible with constant stirring... The finished product should mound up when dropped from a spoon, but should not cut like jelly.
Although these terms exist in North America, the UK and Australia, popularly most jams are generically referred to as "jelly" in North America, as whole fruit jams and fruit butters are less popular commercially than jelly there. In the UK and Australia both terms are used in their "correct" sense, although the term jam is more popularly used in Australia as a generic term.
To further confuse the issue, the term jelly is also used in the UK and Australia to refer to a gelatin dessert, but in North America the commercial product Jell-o is used as a generic name for the same.

Posted: 8/3/2009 9:06:43 PM | | Growing up in an Italian family it was always fried peppers on Italian bread. We would use green peppers or cubanelles and fry them up, salt them, then place them between two pieces of Italian bread. I always like to add a Hungarian Hot on my sandwhich to spice it up. If I don't have Hungarians, crushed red pepper works in a pinch. | |

Posted: 8/4/2009 5:29:13 PM | | White bread. Hashbrowns or french fries cooked in a frying pan and cut into smaller hashbrown sized pieces (Mccains spicy fries are the BEST for this) put the fried potatoes between the two slices of bread. Add lots of caesar or ranch dressing. Enjoy. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 7:18:58 PM | I might have you all beat. I love dill pickles dipped in chocolate syrup.
The last time I popped in a DQ and requested they put pickles in my hot fudge sundae, the manager said if you really eat that, it's on the house. I did eat it, and now I get free hot fudge sundaes at the DQ.
As for sandwiches, I like peanut butter and cucumber or peanut butter and bacon, or even peanut butter with both cucumber and bacon. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 11:13:31 AM | Savanna ham sandwich
Boarshead brand makes a sun dried tomato rosemary ham you have to try.however other ham works if its sliced super thin
put about three cups of water in a sauce pan,add some ham base(a spoonful,use the good stuff),a shot of tripplesec,a shot of orange juice and a spoonful of brown sugar(optional).Check the flavor befor adding the ham.
heat it up and soak the ham in it.Remove the ham with tongs and put on a sliced hoagie bun,cover with grated cheddar and monterey and bake until the cheese melts.Add dijon and mayo if you like and some shredded iceberg lettuce. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 12:40:25 PM | Ratso, that sandwich sounds pretty good. I am definitely going to look for that sundried tomato rosemary ham.
There must be several of these weird sandwich threads. I remember one time seeing 3 different ones all on page 1 at the same time and started within days of each other. That is stranger than any of the sandwiches! LOL
I posted in one of them my wierd sandwiches as a kid. I don't have any weird ones now, but as a kid I did. Between 1st and 4th grade I had a daily dose of my HAVE TO HAVE sandwich...
thin white bread
yellow mustard
lots of onion slices
fritos
I don't know why but I had to have that everyday.
My grandmother had this habit of leaving breakfast and lunch leftovers on the stove until dinner. Of course, she always had a bunch of people running around and in and out that wanted to grab just a bite of food here and there, so it was very nice and convenient. It is important to note that in the south, through the 70's, but I doubt any later than that, most southern women cooked a large sit down meal for the noon meal and they called it dinner, while dinner was called supper. In the 60's and before, before people had air conditioners, town businesses closed for a couple of hours at the hottest part of the day and everyone went home, ate a big sit down meal and then took a nap in front of a fan that had a block of ice in front of it. This was normal in the south until the 70's when pretty much everyone had gotten ac.
Us kids played really hard and anytime my grandmother had had pinto beans for lunch and pancakes for breakfast, I would come in and put the beans on a pancake and roll it up and go back out and eat it while playing. Also, when she had fried potatoes for lunch and toast leftover from breakfast, I would make a fried potato sandwich with it, or if she just had plain white bread, I spread butter on it and put the fried potatoes on and folded it over. My sisters would do the same things on other days with other leftovers, but I do not remember what theirs were, except I do remember one of them had something to do with oatmeal.
Way back, people were so used to conserving and making use of everything so that there was no waste, these weird combinations came up. These days, I think people do it because kids naturally get creative and like to be weird at certain stages of life. Nothing wrong with that. I say anything creative in a person needs to be nutured.
Hooray for weird sandwiches!! 
Oh, one I discovered I liked in my 30's...
A warm flour tortilla
crunchy peanut butter
honey
whipped cream
fold over and eat while still warm and everything is melting
YUM
Or the same thing, but add nutella
My kids favorite weird thing I guess came from a Passover cake they made, but turned into a sandwich...
Matzah
nutella
sprinkles
honey, or marshmellow fluff
matzah
They really liked that during Passover
Every summer when my tomato garden was in full swing, my daughter and I were crazy about making mayo, tomato, onion, salt and pepper sandwiches. If I had any fresh herb at all, that went on also. Sometimes if my daughter was really hungry, she added a cheese like swiss, or muenster. My sons liked them, but they always looked for something more substantial. During tomato season, I love tomatoes so much that I pretty much only ate tomatoes for breakfast and lunch and just ate a meal at dinner, with tomatoes, of course. I am such a freak over fresh vine ripe tomatoes that I consume as many warm off the vine as I possibly can while I have them. I would grow no less than 6 varieties, usually 10. I have done this since I was a very young kid. Everytime I was pregnant, everyone always said I was growing a tomato.

Posted: 10/29/2009 6:55:14 PM | As a kid my mom used to make me peanut butter, bologna and pickles - she liked it with dill pickles, I prefer bread and butter or the sweet/hot pickles.
Also, a friend of the family used to make us bologna fried with bbq sauce, on toast with miracle whip and lettuce - she had gotten the recipe from a little dive diner in Dunbar WVa.
And last but not least, my kids and I love grilled sandwiches so we make grilled pb&j. Yummm the pbutter gets all melty and the nice and crunchy.  | |
