preserves
Jarred sweet spread
Preserves are fruit cooked with sugar to prevent spoilage, typically containing larger pieces of fruit than jam or jelly: strawberry preserves, a jar of homemade preserves.
The word also names protected areas where wildlife or natural resources are maintained: a nature preserve, a hunting preserve.
As a verb, to preserve is to maintain something in its original state or protect it from decay: preserve the Constitution, preserve one's dignity, preserve food for winter.
