fruit without the skin vs. fruit with the skin Explanation: I guess this would mean that the jam is made with the whole fruit including the skin verses the fruit without the skin |

no difference in reality Explanation: I think that although there may be a linguistic difference in what is implied by these 2 different terms, the reality is that most people wouldn't know what the difference is. So if the context is a text aimed at consumers there is no real difference |

"fruit-only" makes no sense Explanation: I fail to see how a preserve could be labelled as "fruit-only" and not fall foul of the Trade Descriptions Act. "Fruit-only" sounds as though there is nothing in it but fruit, but there must be other ingredients, such as sugar, so "fruit-only" is an entirely false description. If what is meant is that there are no artificial additives, then that needs a different sort of wording. There are no sensible Google refs. for "fruit-ony preserve" or "fruit-only apricot preserve" - I think you should be extremely wary of using this term. |
