SUPER EASY MICROWAVE STRAWBERRY JAM
This quick and easy recipe makes a small batch of jam that is not too sweet with fantastically bright berry flavor. When I couldn't find the original recipe from 20+ years ago, I created this simple one with just 2 ingredients. Mixture is very hot, so use care when stirring. Refrigerate leftovers if there are any! Tastes great on toast and English muffins or spoon while warm over ice cream. Blueberries can also be used in place of strawberries.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium microwave-proof bowl. Stir well and stand 5 minutes for juices to start to run from strawberries.
- Microwave, uncovered on medium heat (50 percent) for 4 minutes, stirring half way through cooking time to dissolve sugar. Make sure all the sugar crystals are dissolved at this stage. You may need to brush side of bowl with a water dipped brush.
- Once sugar is dissolved, cook jam on high (100 percent) uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring after every 2 minutes or until jam reaches setting consistency.
- To test whether the jam has reached setting point, drop a small spoonful onto a cold saucer and cool to room temperature before testing. The jam should wrinkle slightly when you push it with your finger. At this point the jam can be transferred to warm sterilised jars and left to cool before sealing tightly.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh strawberries: The quality of your jam will depend on the quality of your strawberries. Look for berries that are plump, red, and have a sweet aroma.
- Use a microwave-safe bowl and spoon: Make sure the bowl and spoon you use are microwave-safe to avoid any accidents.
- Stir the jam frequently: Stirring the jam frequently will help to prevent it from scorching and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Let the jam cool completely before storing: Once the jam is cooked, let it cool completely before storing it in a jar or container. This will help to prevent the jam from spoiling.
