I've just made microwave strawberry jam

[BooKangaWonders]

1 kg strawberries
1 kg jam sugar
juice 1 lemon

20 mins 600W microwave

and it's fab! Tastes so fresh and has set well.

But I want to branch out - what else works well in micro? Strawberries are so easy to prepare and were really cheap yesterday.

wow have never heard of micro jam

are there any disadvantages? does it keep as long or is it a fridge jam? how set is it?
do you need to stir during that time at all? what container did you do it in?

Used biggest pyrex bowl I have. Keeping in fridge, probably not for as long as normal preserves.

But what other fruits?! Someone help me out

did it not boil over every where? I can't even do a jug of custard without complete catastrophe (and no jug of custard at the end)

That is cool. Never thought about that.

Jam can be made in a breadmaker as well. Just chuck it all in, select the programe, walk away.
