Pectin is inside fruits and it makes your jam become more "solid". Sometimes, when you prefer to use less sugar than the regular recipe (the same weight of fruit and sugar), you may add pectine to make your jam not so liquid.

Why do people use jam sugar instead of granulated?

People use jam sugar instead of granulated sugar because jam sugar contains added pectin, which helps achieve a better gel consistency when making jams and jellies. This ensures that the final product has the desired thickness and stability without needing to add extra pectin separately. Additionally, jam sugar often has a slightly different sugar-to-pectin ratio, allowing for a more balanced flavor and texture in preserves.
