Quick and Easy Strawberry Jam

A quick and easy way to make strawberry jam in small amounts.

Ingredients (makes 2 cups)

2 cups strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
squeeze lemon

Method

Prepare your strawberries by hulling (taking off the top) and chopping. I like to chop into different sizes to make a chunky jam and will leave some berries whole.
Put the berries and sugar into a microwave bowl and squeeze lemon over the top.
Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Stir and microwave on high for another five minutes.
Cool and spoon into steralized jars.

Notes

Great to be able to make jams without needing pounds of fruit or jam setter. This jam has a lovely fresh taste and is super easy to make with a punnet or two of strawberries. Great for the home gardener too as you don't need marge amounts to make the jam.

This is so easy. I’m used to making mine on the stove top, and I make heaps and half of it doesn’t get eaten. This is a great way to make it instead. Thanks for sharing.
