Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and remove the stems.
Dice the strawberries into small pieces and place them in a large microwave-safe bowl. Ensure the bowl is large enough to prevent the mixture from boiling over.
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the bowl. Stir well to combine, ensuring the strawberries are evenly coated with sugar.
Microwave the mixture on high power for 5 minutes. Remove and carefully stir the mixture, then return it to the microwave.
Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency. This process typically takes 8–10 minutes in total, but cooking time can vary based on your microwave.
To check if the jam is ready, drop a small amount onto a chilled plate. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, it’s done. If not, microwave for another 1–2 minutes.
Once finished, let the jam cool slightly before transferring it to a clean, sterilized jar or container.
Allow the jam to cool completely at room temperature before sealing and storing in the refrigerator. Use within 2 weeks.
