I'm going to make the acceptable answers broad so jam, preserves, etc are all acceptable. I'm a fig jam or apple butter man myself.

My man, raspberry jam is where it"s at. Perfect sweet/tart to PB ratio. No other spread has beaten it yet.

I'm pretty sure preserves have actual chunks of fruit and jam is made from puree. Jelly is just made from fruit juice.

Jam is mashed, preserves have chunks of fruit. With some fruits it's hard to leave large china during processing (like raspberries, which break easily when properly ripe), at which point raspberry preserves might have less sugar then raspberry jam.

Happy to see I'm not the only one who prefers raspberry jam! Imo it's truly the perfect pairing
