jam
Fruit spread trouble
The food jam is a concentration of fruit and sugar.
Other kinds of jam suggest compression and tight packing, such as a traffic jam (too many cars, too little roadway).
If you’re in a jam, you’re in a difficult situation.
When you jam things into a place, you fit as many as can be squeezed in.
When musicians jam, they play together, often improvising.
This is called a jam session.
