Expert Tips

Preserves differ from jam in that the chunks of fruit are medium to large rather than the texture of thick puree.
The secret for cutting bars easily is to line pan with heavy-duty or nonstick foil. When it is time to cut bars, just lift baked bar with foil out of pan, and cut. This also makes cleanup extra easy.
