What each ingredient does

Fruit
Provides the main body and flavor of the jam, and its natural pectin helps it set.
Lump sugar
Sweetens the jam and, as it concentrates during boiling, helps it thicken and set.

The step that matters

Boil until the mixture sets. Tomatoes are very juicy, so the mixture needs longer boiling to evaporate water and reach the concentration where it sets. Stopping early leaves a runny result.
