Jam or fruit preserves are preparations of fruits, vegetables and sugar, often canned or sealed for long-term storage. The preparation of fruit preserves today often involves adding commercial or natural pectin as a gelling agent, although sugar or honey may be used, as well.
It has been shown that a high fiber diet, which may be present in fruits, may control blood sugar levels with the same efficacy as oral diabetes drugs. (Wikipedia)
