It is then stored in the freezer until desired for use. Because the fruit is not cooked, freezer jams retain a fresher fruit flavor. It tends to have less sugar than jam, and due to long cooking time, less of a fresh fruit flavor. Apple butter is the most common, but fruit butter can be made from almost any fruit. Compote is whole or chunked fruit either cooked in syrup or in sugar until the fruit releases its own juices. Spices may be added for flavor. It can be enjoyed as a dessert on its own or used as a sauce.
Like jam, jelly relies on pectin to form a set, but jelly begins its life as just the juice of the fruit, not the pulp. Fruit juice is cooked with sugar; pectin or acid may need to be added to get a set. In the case of high-pectin, high-acid fruits , like citrus and apples, no additions may be required. Fruits that have little pectin, like strawberries, will require the addition of pectin. Jellies should be clear and bright.
Depending on the kind of pectin used, the set may vary. Lemon or apple jelly, for example, using only the natural pectin of the fruit, may have a soft, almost loose set. The popular holiday condiment cranberry sauce is, in fact, a jelly. Added pectins can make the set increasingly firm. With the addition of pectin and acid, jellies can be made from non-fruit bases, like peppers , tea , and even Guinness beer.

Marmalade: Chopped, pureed or sliced citrus cooked with sugar. Ideally, marmalade should have the right ratio of soft jelly from the juice to soft pieces of cooked peel suspended in it.
The Marmalade can have one or be a combination of different citrus. Conserve: Usually a combination of 2 or more fruits, often with dried fruit and nuts, cooked with sugar. Conserves are usually have chunky texture and are served often with cheeses and meats. Butter: Pureed fruit cooked slowly with little sugar until all liquid evaporated and mixture becomes dark. Were it not for the sugar requirement we would call our conserves "jam. Most commercial jams are ridiculously sweet.
