How to Make Fresh Strawberry Microwave Jam

  1. Mash 2 cups of fresh strawberries in a 3-quart glass microwave-safe dish.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup liquid pectin.
  3. Microwave on high for 4-6 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Stir halfway through.
  4. Stir in 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  5. Microwave on high for 7-9 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil that lasts for 1 minute.
  6. Remove from microwave and carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Adjust jar lids and rings securely.
  8. Let the jam cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
