How to test Jam if its properly done or not? Not sure how to tell when your jam is perfectly set?

Place a plate or saucer in the freezer in the beginning. Once you think that your jam has thickened, spoon a bit of the jam on the cold plate or saucer and tilt it vertically so the jam runs. Your jam should not be runny if should be slow descent. If it runs slow, it’s set! You can also let the spoonful of jam sit on the cold plate for 30 seconds and then push it with your fingers. If it wrinkles up, then it’s perfectly set.
