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