Continue to cook the jam for 8 more minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. Pour the jam into the canning jars, secure the lids as tightly as you can, and fully submerge the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove them from the water bath with a pair of canning tongs and allow the jars to cool to room temperature before handling. Processed correctly, jam kept in a canning jar with an unbroken seal should be good up to a year.
