Fruit preserves are a sweet, spreadable food made by cooking fruit with sugar and sometimes added pectin or lemon juice to thicken and enhance flavor. Popular in many cuisines worldwide, they often appear in European, Middle Eastern, and American recipes, accompanying bread, pastries, or savory dishes. Common fruits used include berries, apricots, peaches, and citrus. While fruit preserves retain some vitamins and antioxidants from the fruit, such as vitamin C and polyphenols, they are typically high in sugar, making them energy-dense but lacking fiber compared to raw fruit. Moderation is key to enjoying preserves healthfully. Opting for low-sugar or natural varieties lets you minimize added sugars while savoring the fruit's natural goodness. Fruit preserves rely on centuries-old preserving techniques, helping extend fruit's shelf life and add a burst of flavor to meals and snacks.
