What is the Difference between Jam and Preserves?
- Jam is made with mashed fruit.
- Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit.
- Green, yellow, orange, and red bell peppers are all the same type of pepper; just at different stages of ripeness.
- Green peppers are unripe, yellow and orange peppers are at various stages of ripeness, and red peppers are fully ripe.
- As the peppers age and ripen, their taste and their health benefits also change.
Tips and Tricks For Turkey and Apricot Tortilla Wraps:
- Use wheat tortillas if you prefer.
- You can use jam or preserves, it really doesn’t make that much difference.
- Any color of pepper makes these wheels beautiful, and festive for any special occasion.
- If you do not want to use regular cream cheese you can buy the tub that is whipped.
