Jams and chutneys

Jams and chutneys are both preserved foods made from fruits or vegetables, but they differ in purpose and flavor. Jam is typically a sweet spread created by cooking fruit with sugar, often with pectin, until it reaches a thick, smooth or slightly chunky consistency that is ideal for bread, pastries, and desserts. Chutney, which has its origins in South Asia, is usually a sweet-savory or tangy condiment made by cooking fruits or vegetables with spices, vinegar, and sometimes sugar, resulting in a more complex flavor profile that can be mild or spicy and a texture that may range from smooth to chunky. While jams highlight natural fruit sweetness, chutneys are designed to complement savory dishes such as curries, meats, cheeses, and sandwiches, adding depth, acidity, and aroma.
