If the jam is not setting properly try adding the juice of a lemon and boiling it all up again for five minutes and then re-testing the set. it You can do this by putting a spoonful or so of the jam onto a very cold plate (taken from freezer). put it back into the freezer for 10 mins. Take it out and push the surface of the jam gently with your finger -- if you see the surface wrinkling up, the jam should set and can be put into jars.
Pectin. Pectin is a food-gum that comes from fruit that helps thicken jam when sugar is added.
Sugar acts as a preservative in jam-making by creating a high osmotic environment that inhibits the growth of microorganisms. It also helps to thicken the jam and enhance its flavor.
Fruit will rise if the jam is too hot when you put it into jars. If you allow your jam to cool for 10 - 15 minutes before putting it into jars, it will thicken and the fruit is less likely to rise to the top.
It's a preservative and helps it thicken up.
So the jam can stay fresh.
Reducing sugars in jam has two functions. The first function is that it helps the jam set and acts as a preservative.
