did you keep it at a boil once you added the sugar? Also maybe you need the juice of a lemon or 2. If the fruit was really ripe it often requires extra lemon juice or pectin to help set. Also keep at a rolling boil not a simmer. yes will need to be boiled for longer but keep checking for setting as once it reaches setting point it can go to toffee really quickly

for jam of any sort not setting add one grated apple skin and all no pips and boil with your fruit it will always set and you will not taste it , works great with berry jams

Someone I know recently made a batch of grape jelly which hasn't actually become jelly - more like a syrup. I wonder if too much sugar was added - would that be a cause of it being syrup rather than jelly. How would you fix it?

If it wont set or I have fruit that is too ripe, I often add a stick of rhubarb especially to jelly jams. You can't see or taste it but it helps with setting.
