A Jammy Question

Ok as I said it’s a jammy question about jam
Simply what’s the difference between jam and a conserve?
I think it may simply be about sugar levels but I’m not sure it’s that simple.

 

I thought I would ask in here and see where this led to , knowing you lot I’m sure it will have nothing to do with jam
Actually I did google it but didn’t really get a good description of what the difference is.

 

Conserve sandwich Jam sandwich hope this helps

 

Jams working class, conserve’s snobby

 

The second ‘sandwich ‘ isn’t as sweet and leave a bad tast behind!!

 

Which ones you crispey? You posh ‘init?

 

the more important question is jam/conserve first or cream on your scones?

 

Not sure as the Butler brings it in a crystal pot

 

That is how I eat my Creme Eggs!

 

Twat!

 

Butter, then jam, then cream, then some more cream on my scone. Love them, nowt better. Home made with that cludda cream stuff

 

Only one way to eat porridge , cream and salt.
Yes salt not sugar, jam or a crepe egg.
Have to say that’s a totally new one to me.
Porridge and a cream egg .....

 

it melts into it, proper sugar rush!

 

Proper cream tea that, none of that Devonshire weirdness! Cornish all the way.... (roads are better too)

 

I spent half my RN career based in Snotland, beautiful place on those 3 days of summer!

 

Aye, global warming is a scam!

 

Got to agree that conserve is a posh word for jam. One conserves fruit by boiling it with sugar and putting it in glass jars doesn't one ?
On the other hand, yer slap jam on yer bread mate.

 

You only asked 2/3 of the question.......you missed out compote (which has nothing to do with gardening and soil improvement)

Conserve - whole fruit in thick sugary gunge
Jam - fruit boiled to destruction in thick gunge (homogenous gloop)
Compote - whole fruit in light juicy widdle
