I just canned 8 half-pints of low sugar strawberry jam, using the recipe that comes with the packet of SureJell low-sugar pectin.
The recipe says that the jam should last a year. Info from University of Alabama/ Auburn Extension suggests that low sugar jams will only last 3 months.
Which is it? Do I have to somehow eat 8 cups of jelly in the next 3 months?

I’ve never heard that low sugar jams only last 3 months before to be honest. I think you’re fine following the storage directions from the recipe.
