Fridge.
Unless you like mould on your jams.

This is my point. Why the hell would one put it in the cupboard?
That's where dry things, condiments, tins and that sort of thing live. Not wet things.

In theory you're meant to be able to keep it in cupboards
as it's got lots of sugar in. But in practice, you can't.

My cupboards must be stealth bastards then.

if you can't,
it's because it's crap cheap jam made on the assumption that everyone keeps it in the fridge these days.

because the entire point of jam is that it keeps.
that's why they invented it, long before fridges.

But it doesn't. Furry jam hats, MGT.

I've seen it happen.
They're obviously not doing it properly.
I visited a cider farm the other week, and they make jam there too, and the guy in there said that there's a certain amount of sugar you have to put in before it won't go off. They make sure they put enough in, at least, even if Tesco think they can economise on it.

I have that Bonne Maman stuff, maybe they're just as bad.
Actually, my nan's jam never went off.

AHHHH.
