Edit: to add, the jar was properly sealed when I opened it.

    This is true, but I wouldn’t do it when the jam is very liquid. And if your jam starts to mold fast, it means it doesn’t contain extra chemicals to keep it good as well as much less sugar. So it’s better if it molds faster. Just keep it in the fridge and eat it fast. Many store bought factory jams can stay good for over a year after being opened. Imagine what it takes to keep it from molding.

      No chemicals are necessary, home made jam can last for ages too. More sugar is better, for the jam, as a preservative. Not for oneself but like just eat less jam

        I make figs jam without sugar. It’s much healthier but won’t last that long. Tastes amazing!
