Jams, jellies, marmelades (04.1.2.5)
Description
Jams, preserves and conserves are thick, spreadable products prepared by boiling whole fruit or pieces of fruit, fruit pulp or puree, with or without fruit juice or concentrated fruit juice, and sugar to thicken, and to which pectin and fruit pieces may be added. Jelly is a clear spreadable product prepared similarly to jam, except that it is has a smoother consistency and does not contain fruit pieces. Marmelade is a thick spreadable fruit slurry prepared from whole fruit, fruit pulp or puree (usually citrus), and boiled with sugar to thicken, to which pectin and fruit pieces and fruit peel pieces may be added.1, 2 Includes dietetic counterparts made with non-nutritive high-intensity sweeteners. Examples include: orange marmelade, grape jelly, and strawberry jam.This page provides information on the food additive provisions that are acceptable for use in foods conforming to the food category.
