Jay (Oklahoma) says:
I've been sampling jams and making my own and have been amazed at how much sugar everyone uses. Do judges really award Blue ribbons to these overly sugary jams? I've been cutting the sugar by more than half and have found the natural flavors of the fruit start to shine through.

Just my personal opinion but I think the high sugar content is partly to preserve the product.
