To be jam it has to have a very high percentage of sugars so 40% sounds about right. When I make it I use 35% fruit, 35% sugar and the rest is water ( which gets boiled down ) So the end product is slightly more sugar than fruit.
It’s been a long long time since I’ve made jam but I remember fruit, sugar, grated apple, lemon juice and water. I can not remember the quantities though.
