3 Minute Microwave Jam Recipes

3-MINUTE MICROWAVE JAM

Steps:

• Put the berries in a large glass bowl. If you are using blackberries and they are large, cut them in half. Toss the berries with the cornstarch and sugar if you are using.
• Cover the bowl with a microwave safe dinner plate, and microwave for 3 minutes. Give it a stir. If your jam is still very runny, pop it back into the microwave for 30 second intervals. Note: Be careful, it will get quite hot so use caution, and oven mitts.
• Spoon the jam into a clean jar and let cool Store in the refrigerator, the jam will firm up as it cools.
• Use or freeze the jam within one week.
