Preserves are spreads that have chunks of fruit surrounded by jelly.
Conserves are made with dried fruits and nuts and are cooked. They have a very thick and chunky texture. Conserves work very well as a spread and as a condiment for meats and cheeses.  |

Satsumas are generally sweeter than the other two, clementines are generally more fragrant and have a rounder (rather than squat) shape, and tangerines and mandarins tend to be sharper and less sweet (tangerines are slightly more fragrant, mandarins more sour).
