Is homemade jam permitted across US-Canada border?
score:4
Drilling down from the CBP's main page, one eventually gets to this page, which presents this text:
So, the answer is "No, home-canned jam is not admissible."
OTOH, you may wish to carry this stuff anyway and declare it to Customs. There's no penalty for declaring goods that are refused (and if so, will be confiscated), but perhaps in spite of the web statement they'll let you bring it in.
EDIT 6-23-2019:
@Doc cites (in the comments above) a possible duplicate question; the answer there references a USDA handbook on the admission (or not) of plants and other foodstuffs. That document refers to "marmelade" and "jam" specifically, and allows them entry without regard to their mode of preparation.
This Answer, therfore, is incorrect. The item in question should be admitted.

Customs might allow you to bring the jam int the US, but airport security at your departure airport might have other ideas. Jam is classed as a gel, and as such comes under the rules for gels and liquids - specifically, not more than 100ml in the cabin. You can put the jam in your checked baggage, if you can pack it securely and trust the baggage handlers not to drop your bags.
