Jams and Jellies And Other Good Things Made From Fruit
Jellies, Jams, Preserves, Butters, Spreads, Syrups,
Honeys, Marmalades, and other yummy things made from fresh fruits are a
specialty at Stono Farm Market.
So, what is the difference between these products
besides the fruit it’s made from?
Jelly: Made from fruit juice, sugar and pectin
and there should be no pieces or parts of the fruit
Jam: Made from crushed fruit and/or the pulp of
fruit, sugar and pectin. Jams are usually a little softer than jellies
Preserves: Made from the whole fruit, sugar and
pectin. Preserves have hunks of fruit and are about the same consistency of a
jam.
Butters: Made from the “sauce” of the fruit, like
apple sauce, strawberry sauce, etc. Smooth to spread and very flavorful! Some
of our Butters have NO ADDED SUGAR, so they are as good for you as possible!
Spreads: Sweetened with fruit juices only-NO
SUGAR ADDED. Thank goodness for this product because my diabetic husband can at
least have a little something sweet in his life besides me. HA!
Marmalades: Made from the rind and pulp of
citrus. Marmalades can also have other fruits added, but typically they are
made from citrus. YUM YUM
Hors d’Oeuvres Jelly: Generally made from what we
consider vegetables and are used as a spread on crackers with soft cheese(cream
cheese is most often used). Some of the most common are Red Pepper Jelly and Green
Pepper Jelly, but there are many others that are quite popular.
Honey: One of nature's
wonderful delights! A sweet treat that offers so very many health
benefits. We have honey from our farm, available with or without comb.
We also have Bee Pollen, but be very careful to follow the directions on the
container, as it can be dangerous for those with allergies if not taken properly
We have jellies, jams,
preserves, butters, spreads, and marmalades made from a wide variety
of fruits. Products made from our local fruits are our customers favorites, of course, but we have
a wide selection of products from fruits that are not common to the LowCountry.
