My friend told me that strawberry jam could easily be made in the microwave, so I tried making my own. It really was easy and delicious so I've made it repeatedly. It also comes out delicious when made with homegrown juneberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc., or even smaller amounts.

While it's heating up in the microwave, it will swell out quite a bit, so please use a somewhat large bowl. When removing from the microwave, the bowl will be hot so be careful.
Even if it seems a bit watery, it will thicken as it cools. Adjust the cooking time and amount of sugar as needed. Don't cover the bowl with plastic wrap. If only making a small amount, use less time. Recipe by Crepemeter
