Blueberries not only taste great, but they’re also a
good source of vitamin C, iron and fiber.
They’re cholesterol-free, sodium-free and an
important source of potassium. Best of all,
blueberries contain only 80 calories per cup.

Thank you!

Jelly is made from fruit juice and so has no fruit bits. Jam is made by boiling fruit and does have fruit bits. Preserves are basically the same as jam unless you buy them from Smucker’s, in which case if it’s got seeds in it it’s preserves and if it doesn’t it’s jam. Marmalade typically is a citrus-based preserve, sometimes containing the rind, but other fruits can be used. Apple and peanut butter are called that because they bear a resemblance to dairy butter.
