    The answer would be:

    Jellies

    Salt cured meats

    Honey

    High osmotic pressure can be used as a natural preservative. In high osmotic pressure, the microbes will hardly survive as their surrounding concentration is too high and induce severe osmosis. The osmosis will take the microbes water, makes it shrink continually lead to the microbes death.

    In those 3 foods, there is a high concentration of sugar or salt that increase the osmotic pressure.
