It is part of food products Fruit jam- A sweet spread made from fruit, sugar, and occasionally pectin—a natural gelling agent—is known as fruit jam, or "jam." The main characteristics of fruit jam are as follows:

1. Ingredients: Typically, fruit jam is made with sugar, pectin, and fruit (like strawberries, raspberries, apricots, or peaches). The natural product is cooked with sugar until it separates and thickens, framing a spreadable consistency.
2. Method of Cooking: In most cases, the fruit is chopped or crushed before being mixed with sugar in a pot. While the sugar contributes to the fruit's preservation and enhances its sweetness, heating causes the fruit to soften and release its natural juices. To ensure that the jam sets properly, pectin can be added.
3. Texture: Depending on how finely the fruit was chopped or mashed during preparation, fruit jam has a smooth texture with scattered fruit pieces.
