How to Make Kumquat Jam Microwave

  1. Wash 1 pound of kumquats thoroughly and slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Discard seeds and ends.
  2. Roughly chop the sliced kumquats.
  3. In a 2-3 quart microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped kumquats with 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
  4. Cook uncovered on high for 6 minutes, or until the mixture begins to boil.
  5. Stir the mixture thoroughly. Continue cooking in 2-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, for a total of 10 minutes more, or until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Remove the bowl from the microwave and let it cool slightly.
  7. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools completely.
  8. Store the jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
