Jams that are put up (canned) for shelf storage need more sugar; sugar is not just a sweetener, but also a preservative.

The batch you made might set up a bit with time, but then again it might not. Just use it as it is, over ice cream or whatever.

I really liked the soft-set nature of last year's peach jam. I think I used Instant Pectin. Also I tried to get fancy with bourbon and thyme. Too ambitious.
