Ingredients
- 4 cups (450g) fresh strawberries, diced or sliced
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Preparation
- Add the fruit, sugar, and lemon into the Anyday dish and mix well. Allow the fruit to macerate for 5-10 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved into a thick, syrup-like consistency.
- Cook uncovered at Power Level 5tooltip for 30-35 minutes or until the fruit has softened and the syrup coats the back of a rubber spatula. Note that the jam will look loose at this point and it will thicken as it cools. The cooking time will also depend on the ripeness of the fruit or if you are using frozen berries.
- Allow the jam to fully cool before using. Jam can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Serving suggestions & tips
- This recipe is very versatile! You can use any in-season berry such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries— fresh or frozen. Follow the same fruit-to-sugar ratio and keep in mind that the total cook time might change, depending on the size and freshness of the berries.
- Looking to make a sweet and spicy spread to pair with cheese? Add a pinch of chili flakes to the ingredients and cook as directed
- Use the jam in yogurt parfaits, cake or ice cream filling, cocktails, and any other application to your liking.
Recipe notes
- If using frozen strawberries, you may need to add up to 10 more minutes of cooking time so make sure to keep an eye for visual cues.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
