How to Make Apricot Jam Microwave

  1. Combine 1 lb fresh apricots (pitted and chopped), 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on high for 8 minutes, then stir well.
  3. Continue microwaving in 4-minute intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency (about 25-30 minutes total microwave time). The jam should sheet off a spoon.
  4. Remove from microwave and let cool slightly.
  5. Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
  6. Seal the jars tightly and let cool completely. The jam will thicken further as it cools.
