Nov 18, 2011 at 21:18 comment added Marty Green Nice. I'm understanding that German distinguishes between the fruitier jam (marmelade) vs the vegetable preserve (eingemachtes.) My sense of the Yiddish is that we use one word for both, but I'm most familiar with it in the sweet sense, as in the phrase "a Gläesel Tee mit Eingemachts”.
