Generally, jams will be an acid (albeit a weak one). Most fruits have some sort of acid (primarily citric acid). Virtually no fruits will be basic, so fruit-based jams will generally be acidic (meaning a PH below 7).

Jam is typically acidic due to the presence of fruits like berries or citrus which contain organic acids such as citric acid or malic acid. These acids contribute to the tangy taste of jam.
