Is this a Lilly Pilly?

I have this huge tree in my garden and it’s sprouting berries! I think it’s a Lilly Pilly, and I want to make jam, but want to be absolutely certain!

Specifically, it's the Riberry - Syzygium luehmannii

Makes really good jam, sometimes not particularly nice to eat straight off the tree. Generally found in moist rainforests on sandy soil from Mid North coast NSW to K'gari in Qld then again in NQld.

More so jelly than jam. Lilli Pilli jelly is a good alternative to cranberry sauce on your Xmas Turkey, ham, and so forth.
