I agree with zeek33333 in that they are often used interchangeably, But I think "jam" is used more for problems with time-based conflicts.
"I am in a real jam. I am leaving on a business trip in one hour and I haven't even started packing."
I am supposed to bake and decorate 50 cupcakes by 5:00. Can anybody help me out of this jam?"
"Pickle" is more for any difficult or uncomfortable situation.
"Thomas asked two different women to go to the concert and they both accepted. He is in quite a pickle."
"I lied and told my boss that I was fluent in Japanese and now he wants me to interpret some correspondences. I am in a real pickle."
As you can see, some situations can use either expression.

Thank you so much! That was really helpful!
I just would like to ask something.
When you said “"Jam" is more for any difficult or uncomfortable situation.” did you maybe mean to write about “pickle”??

@M90GK Yes, I meant "pickle". That was careless of me. I have corrected the post. Thanks.
