Sugar is used for many reasons, but primarily to decrease bacterial and mold growth (spoilage). Sugar performs this especially well for cooked foods, esp. fruit. Preservatives work by killing or stopping the growth of microorganism. All organisms require a narrow range of conditions in which to live: too acid or too sweet and nothing, not even bacteria can live. It might seem surprising that sugar is a preservative, but jam, so long as water doesn't settle out is far too sweet for bacteria. Mold on jam occurs where water has formed on the surface, significantly diluting the concentration of sugar.

To make them stay (edible) longer. The more sugar the better. Sugar is the main preservative in jams. in jellies too i suppose

To make them sweeter as the natural sweetness (sugar level) of the fruit used is not enough to satisfy our tastes and add substance.
