MOTHERFUCKER

There are 3 terms in Spanish and 3 terms in English. So what are so butt hurt about?

Kinda like French, with confiture, gelée, marmelade, purée, compote et crème.

Basically, it refers to the fact that, despite looking strikingly similar, the actual process is different, and even the result isn't always the same. These words account for all these small differences.

And actually, depending on the fruit used, you can do several of these, and they'll give different results.

pintura de fruta?

Also if something is made out of marmalade, jam, jelly etc. it's then said to be "de gitano".

Also conserva...

>de gitano
de donde eres?

conserva can refer to veggies, meat, fish..anything that's preserved so it's a wider term.

Also, an easy rule for OP: jelly, jam, marmelade=mermelada

jalea is translated as jelly, but the problem is jalea is oftenly regarded as an old term for marmelade, so instead of jalea we use mermelada most of the times

I grew up in northeast Mx. then went to high school in south Tx. and people use "de gitano" for like jelly rolls, cookies with jelly like those Tartinas things, etc.

>marmelade=mermelada
But that's wrong. Marmalade refers only to the british variety made with citrus peel (hence the "marmalade and scones" stereotype). Mermelada is for everything. For refering to marmalade in spanish, you'd had to say something along "mermelada inglesa"
