variations on jam
Context: an article about upmarket jams.
Sentence: Les recommandations européennes permettant aux États membres de définir ce qui est confiture et ce qui ne l’est pas avec des dosages fruits et sucres différents ne suffisent plus à rassurer le consommateur pour qui “confitures”, “fruits mijotés”, “préparations à base de fruits” ou “spécialités de fruits” appartiennent à la même famille et sont d’un usage commun.
Do we call this "fruit spread" in English? Alternatively, would anyone who often works in the food industry know of a good online source where the difference between these terms is clearly explained?
Thanks for your help!

These sort of terms are often deliberately obscure, to mask 'other' ingredients or chemical additives

Fruit preserves
Given the context the term needs to be one which is not included in the definition of jams in EU regulations - preserve is specifically no longer included. It should also be something which might be seen on a label or in a product name, and I think the other suggestions are a bit too vague.
