No, some jams are not evey cooked. These homemade jams need to be kept in the fridge, but can have large fruit pieces, and arguably the best taste.

In cooked jams the time, sugar and pectin added can vary depending on the fruit. Traditionally, many berries do not need pectin added as they produce it naturally. Cranberrise are a good example of this. Other fruit like apples, or and grapes require a very long cook time, its better sometimes to just use the juice and added pectin. YOu can also vary the amount depending on how solid you like your jam to be.

From Jessie: add to the above: some jams are cooked to have chunks of fruit in them, then they are called a "conserve" and not always a jam.
