How to Make Apricot Jam Microwave
- Combine 1 lb fresh apricots (pitted and chopped), 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 8 minutes, then stir well.
- 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.
- Remove from microwave and let cool slightly.
- Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
- Seal the jars tightly and let cool completely. The jam will thicken further as it cools.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
