A pound of jam is approximately equal to 0.12 gallons. This is based on the average density of jam, which is about 8.5 pounds per gallon. However, this can vary slightly depending on the specific ingredients and consistency of the jam.
Depends on the jam! If it has gelatin, NO. If it has ingredients that you cannot tell what they are, go to PETA's website and look for their list of items that you wouldn't otherwise know were not vegetarian or vegan.

Originated in Southeast Asia, coconut jam, also known as Srikaya or Kaya, is made from a base of coconut milk (or coconut cream) and sugar. It may contain other ingredients, such as eggs, and flavorings, such as pandan leaf. It's sweet and typically used as a spread for toast or a topping for various desserts.
In strawberry jam, the primary solvent is water. Water is present in the strawberries and is also added during the cooking process, helping to dissolve sugar and other ingredients. This mixture creates a homogeneous solution that allows the flavors and textures to blend together, resulting in the final jam product.
To make jam at home, follow these steps: Prepare your ingredients (fruit, sugar, lemon juice). Cook the fruit with sugar and lemon juice until it thickens. Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars. Seal the jars and process them in a water bath canner. Let the jars cool and store them in a cool, dark place.
Yes, jam is primarily composed of carbohydrates, primarily in the form of sugars. The main ingredients in jam are fruit and sugar, both of which contribute to its carbohydrate content. Additionally, the cooking process can break down some of the fruit's natural fibers, but the overall carbohydrate content remains high due to the added sugars.
Most jams are about 50% sugar by volume. I suggest that you simply replace the sugar the recipe calls for with jam, by equal volume or weight. The fruit in jam is usually sweet as well and if you doubled the volume of jam (to get the same sugar content the recipe calls for) you would throw out the ratio of sugar to other ingredients. Beat or whisk together the eggs and jam. Whisk in the butter (melted or softened - or use oil instead). If there are other liquid ingredients like milk then beat them in but hold a little back as the jam will make the mixture more runny than plain sugar would. Then add the sifted dry ingredients, stirring to incorporate. If you think the mixture is too stiff then add more of the wet ingredients or add additional milk, tablespoon by tablespoon. If the mixture is too runny then add additional flour. The mixture should have a consistency that will cause it to slide from the mixing spoon in a lump if you scoop up a spoonful and tilt it over the bowl. Bake as usual. If you think the cake tastes too bland you can rectify that by coating it with a sweet icing or by filling it with whipped cream into which you have mixed more of the jam. The next time you bake it increase the jam content. If I have excess jam - or jam that has failed to set properly - I use it to make chutneys and relishes in the place of sugar, substituting cup for cup. Since chutneys usually have fruit in them it only improves the result.
