Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Microwave Berry Jam 500 g (17 1/2 oz) frozen mixed berries 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 1/2 cups white sugar 1. Place berries, zest and juice in a large, deep microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High (100%) for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Add sugar; stir until dissolved. Microwave on High (100%) for 18 to 20 minutes or until jam reaches setting point. 3. Spoon hot jam into sterilised jars. Seal. Invert for 2 minutes. Turn upright; cool to room temperature. TIP: Jam makes a great gift. TIP: To sterilise jars: Wash in soapy water then rinse. Place on a baking tray; heat in an oven preheated to 150 C (300 F) for 10 minutes. TIP: Setting test: Place a teaspoonful of jam on a chilled saucer; cool. Push jam with your finger; if it wrinkles, it's ready to bottle. Makes l 3/4 cups.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 This looks good. What can be substituted for the white sugar? I only use raw washed sugar - if at all.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi Danielle, I don't see why raw sugar wouldn't work although it will alter the taste. You may want to add some jam setter just to make sure. I have to admit that I haven't made jam for many, many years ... and have never made it in a microwave.
