4. Add xanthan gum and stir well, cook for 1 minute and remove from heat.
5. Place the jam in container(s) and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating, best use within 10 days. (Glassware with air tight lids are preferred for storage; canned them if you are making a big batch and no refrigeration is needed).
