📝 Preparation Steps
1
Microwave Jam Method
2
In a large bowl combine the berries, sugar and lemon juice. Be sure to use an extra large bowl as the jam will bubble up in the cooking process and you don't want to lose any of the liquid,
3
Microwave on high for about ⏱️ 9-11 minutes. Check at the 9-minute mark and cook for longer if needed. This timing is based on my microwave which is 1200 watts so your timing may vary. When the jam is ready the berries :should be broken down and the mixture will form a thick shiny liquid. Note: The jam thickens as it cools so just in case you think your jam isn't thick enough just factor that in.
4
Transfer the jam to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks. And be sure to sterilize your jar by washing thoroughly with soap and water and then microwaving for ⏱️ 45 seconds (without any metal lids, of course). Make sure both the jam and jar are cooled before storing.

Stove Top Method:
6
Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Simmer over medium-low heat for ⏱️ 7-10 minutes until the fruit is broken down and the mixture has thickened.
7
Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks. And be sure to sterilize your jar by washing thoroughly with soap and water and then placing in the oven at 140°C / 275°F for around ⏱️ 20 minutes. Make sure both the jam and jar are cooled before storing.
