It's a good question. There is actually a stick test to determine whether something is a solid or a liquid. Simply stand a stick (or spoon as it's jam :)) in the jar. If it won't stand upright then it's a liquid, if it stays in place then you've got a solid.

Jam is classified as a liquid, simple explaination: it shifts to the container it's in. It's viscosity is so high that it acts as a solid/ liquid (In Wendy's words a Saquid) Kind of like glass, a slow moving liquid.

I would say it's a solid that's not quite in liquid form yet.

jam is a liquid with quite high viscosity and it has newtownian flow properties so when shear, such as movement and heat are added like spreading on toast it becomes more viscous. rather like toothpaste when movement of brushing teeth and tomato ketchup when the bottle is shaken which both have similar properties
things with a thyrotropic properties would react differently

Jam is a solution which is formed when solvent is of solid phase and solute is of liquid phase.

It is liquid.
Reason - solids must be crystalline.
N.B. Glass is not solid - it is a supercooled liquid - there are no crystals in glass.
