Fruit preserve is a sweet spread made by cooking fruits with sugar and, often, pectin to achieve a thick, jam-like consistency. Traditionally, it has roots in European cuisine, particularly as a way to extend the shelf life of seasonal fruits. Common varieties include strawberry, raspberry, and apricot preserves, though nearly any fruit can be used. While fruit preserves provide a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the fruit, their nutritional profile can vary depending on the sugar content. Commercial versions often contain added sugars, which increase calories and may contribute to health concerns like weight gain or elevated blood sugar levels if consumed excessively. Opting for homemade or reduced-sugar options can be a healthier choice. Fruit preserves are versatile, enhancing breakfast foods like toast or yogurt, and they can also add flavor to baked goods and savory dishes.
