Really interesting! I have heard of all of these except for confit and conserve but did not know the distinction among or between them. I have heard the word the ¨chutney¨ used in the description of menu items at restaurants and could infer what it was but did know it usually has vinegar and other spices.
I've only heard of confit used in the sense of confit duck legs which is cooking the legs in fat, didn't know it also applied to fruit. Conserve is a term used in England, I once gave a friend a candle in a jar and before she opened it, she asked if it was conserve. Candles in a jar were not so common then but fruit jams were.
