How to Make Microwave Strawberry Jam
- Combine all ingredients in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir well and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- Microwave uncovered on medium power for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through to dissolve the sugar.
- Ensure all sugar crystals are completely dissolved. If needed, use a pastry brush dipped in water to dissolve any sugar clinging to the sides of the bowl.
- Microwave on high power, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. The jam will thicken as it cooks.
- To check for setting point: place a small spoonful of jam onto a chilled saucer. Let it cool completely.
- Gently push the cooled jam with your finger. If it wrinkles slightly, it's ready!
- Carefully transfer the hot jam to warm, sterilized jars. Let cool completely before sealing tightly.
