Easy Microwave Strawberry Jam
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- Strawberries - 500 gm (cleaned and chopped)
- White sugar - 1 and 1/2 cup
- Lemon Juice - 2 tbsp
Instructions
-
Microwave lemon for 15 seconds and remove the seeds before juicing it.
-
Add chopped strawberries into a heatproof microwave-safe bowl.
-
Add lemon Juice and mix well. Microwave for 5 minutes on high power.
-
Now add sugar and stir well.
-
Microwave for a further 5-6 minutes on high power or until jam reaches setting point (check notes).
-
Transfer the warm jam in sterilized containers and keep it sealed. Once opened or used refrigerate it.
Recipe Notes
To check if jam has reached setting point, place a small amount of jam onto a chilled saucer. Place into freezer for 2 minutes or until jam is at room temperature. Run your finger through jam and wrinkle and if jam stays in 2 separate portions, it’s ready to be stored. If not, cook for a little longer and retest.
Yum
