 Ingredients:
500g strawberries, washed, hulled, chopped 1 cup white sugar 1 large lemon, juiced Method: Place strawberries into a 3-litre capacity heatproof microwave-safe bowl (such as Pyrex). Add sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Microwave, uncovered, for 4 minutes on High/100%. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Microwave for a further 15 minutes on High/100%, (jam should still be a little runny) or until jam reaches setting point. (see note). Spoon hot jam into hot sterilised jars. Seal. Turn jars upside down for 2 minutes. Turn upright and allow to cool. Once opened, store in the fridge for up to 2 months. Note: To test jam: before starting the cooking process place two saucers in the freezer. After 15 minutes, take one sauce from the freezer and pour a teaspoon of jam onto the saucer. If the jam sets and stays when the saucer is turned upside down then it is set. If not cook in 5 minutes bursts, checking each time, until setting point is reached.

Just watched your YouTube on making jam. So good. Thank you so much, you’ve convinced me to try some.

Making jam in the microwave is so easy - no more burned jam pots! Best to do it in smaller batches, unless you have a very, very big microwave safe bowl - at least 5 litres in size. It also means you can do a batch of jam while you're prepping dinner, which I often do. Hope you do try it, let me know how you go. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
