Yes, it’s the recommended process from the USDA. Since we’re in the US, those are the rules we follow and publish. We realize that other countries may have other recommendation. However, because jam recipes have such a wide variety of amounts of sugar and acidity, there’s no way to say “Do XYX and your jam will be shelf stable and mold free” unless you process it for 10 minutes in a water bath.

Is this a USA thing? I’ve never done this, and the jam keeps perfectly if jars are properly sterilized.
