To find out how much jam Jen jarred after spending 2 days making jam, you can use the equation given:

\[ j = 8d \]

where \( j \) is the amount of jam jarred and \( d \) is the number of days spent making jam.

Substitute \( d = 2 \) into the equation:

\[ j = 8(2) \]

Now, calculate:

\[ j = 16 \]

Therefore, Jen jarred **16 liters** of jam after spending 2 days making jam.
