Can this be canned/preserved in a water bath? As it appears not to be a very acidic product, maybe it can't be very well preserved, and needs to be used quickly?

All the recipes I have for this savory jam do not call for processing at all. Instead they are to be kept in the fridge and used up quickly. They may by re heated just before serving.
''Put in jars and refrigerate until ready to serve. May be heated again. ''
