Time 20m

Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups berries, sliced if large
1/3-1/2 cup sugar, to taste
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1) Combine all of the ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl. Make sure the bowl is large enough; the berries/sugar shouldn't fill more than 1/3 of the bowl, as they'll bubble up quite a bit as they cook.
  • 2) Cook the berries for 5 minutes in the microwave.
  • 3) Remove the bowl from the microwave, stir the berries, and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • 4) Remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir thoroughly. If the mixture hasn't become sauce-like and slightly syrupy, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • 5) Stir to combine any liquid, and refrigerate. The jam will thicken as it cools.
