Answers:
Jelly is made completely from fruit juices and has no actual fruit pieces!. Jam is made from the actual fruit so it's probably going to have some mushed pieces in it!. Preserves is mostly big fruit chunks but it still has pectin and sugar which makes the gooey stuff is needed to make any of the three!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

jelly is what americans call jam!.(UK jelly is not something you could put on toast it's made from gelatine and mixed with a fruit flavouring!. It usally served with ice cream!.)
jam is what common people ie me and every normal person calls it presevative is just a more posh name for jam although it may contain a stronger fruit concentrationWww@FoodAQ@Com

Jelly is strained and will have no fruit pieces, whatsoever, in it!. Jam has a good percentage of fruit, but it's usually small, mashed pieces!. Preserves and conserve have the most fruit, and will be larger pieces of fruit!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
