| Apr 6, 2017 at 15:00 | comment | added | jarnbjo | @Janka I know that what I am talking about is called "Stau" in German. That's why I am wondering why you suggest to translate "jam" with "Marmelade" or "Konfitüre" without knowing if that is what the OP is asking about. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 12:03 | comment | added | Janka | This is called Stau in German. youtube.com/watch?v=DaHuPUiYVbI | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 11:09 | comment | added | jarnbjo | Do I understand it correctly that if I am stuck in a jam on my way home from work, I have to look out on the street for whole pieces of fruit to decide if I can say "Ich stecke in der Marmelade fest." or "Ich stecke in dem Muß fest." in German? | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 10:11 | comment | added | Uwe | @ChristianGeiselmann That's true for "Apfelmus"; "Pflaumenmus", however, is very similar to jam. The main differences are the long cooking time and the reduced amount of added sugar. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 8:16 | comment | added | Janka | Mus is filled into the packages hot, then sealed. Most times without any further preservatives. google.de/search?q=pflaumenmus&tbm=shop | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 8:00 | comment | added | Christian Geiselmann | I feel urged to comment here that Mus is something completely different from Marmelade. Marmelade is, basically cooked fruit with added sugar and usually some other stuff for gelling (if the fruit itself does not have enough of that stuff), then put in jars to be durable. Whereas Mus is just the fruit without added sugar or gelling stuff, and usually eaten right away, so not with the idea of being durable. (Well, there are jars of Apfelmus in the super markets... don't know how they make them durable. Probably by adding chemicals.) | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 6:42 | comment | added | guidot♦ | The bureaucratic correct term since the EU's decision mentioned by @user1583209 is Fruchtaufstrich, even if nobody uses it. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 2:48 | comment | added | Uwe | @user1583209 Agreed, but the French spelling "Gelée" is rather rare in German. Usually, the word is written without the accent. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 2:40 | comment | added | user1583209 | There is also Gelée which is a product made of fruit juice (not fruits). Also the EU ruled that "Marmelade" is to be used for products made of oitrus fruits only, but nobody really cares/knows about it and uses it for any kind of jam/marmelade. | |
