A confiture is any fruit jam, marmalade, paste, sweetmeat, or fruit stewed in thick syrup.[1][2][3] Confit, the root of the word, comes from the French word confire, which literally means 'preserved';[4][5] a confit being any type of food that is cooked slowly over a long period of time as a method of preservation.[4]
