Maybe your experience with making jelly has been a better one, I surely hope so. Pectin is the fiber found in fruits and vegetables and is most often made from apples or citrus peels. When heated in liquid, pectin expands and turns into a gel, making it a great thickener for jams, jellies, and preserves. Citrus fruit like lemons, will gel naturally due to being high in acidity; whereas strawberries, which are low-acid and low-pectin, requires some help to transform them into a spreadable product.
There are different types and brands of commercial pectin. They are available in powder or liquid, full sugar and low or no sugar.
Jelly has the smoothest consistency of jam, jelly and preserves. Jelly is made by crushing fruit and discarding the solid chunky leftovers. Which leaves just the juice of the fruit. The fruit juice is then mixed with pectin and heated to form a gelatinous spread. Jam is made in a similar manner in that you start by crushing the fruit.

Fruit leather is a fruit paste that has been spread in a thin layer prior to finishing, creating a sheet. A conserve is a preserve made from pieces of fruit and nuts; sometimes both fresh and dried fruits are used.

In the Indian subcontinent, chutney covers a wide range of condiments and dips, but specifically in the realm of fruit preserves, chutneys are chunks of fruit cooked with sugar, vinegar, and spices.
They are commonly served alongside spicy foods as a balancing element. Chutneys have become a major part of British cuisine as well. Mango chutney is the most popular, but chutneys are made from many different fruits, including apple, pineapple, and persimmon. Similar to chutney, mostarda is a Northern Italian condiment made from chunks of fruit cooked in sugar until candied; mustard oil is added to the syrup to add a spicy flavor. It's often served alongside the boiled meat dish known as bollito misto , but it's also excellent with cheese.
Fruit curds are creamy spreads made from fruit juice, butter, and eggs cooked over a double-boiler until they become a custard.
Lemon curd is the most common, but curds can be made from another citrus, like grapefruit , as well as almost any other fruit. If gelatin is added to lemon curd, it can be used as a layer in a lemon meringue pie. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.
