Instructions

  1. Put the berries in a large glass bowl. If you are using blackberries and they are large, cut them in half. Toss the berries with the cornstarch and sugar if you are using.
  2. Cover the bowl with a microwave safe dinner plate, and microwave for 3 minutes. Give it a stir. If your jam is still very runny, pop it back into the microwave for 30 second intervals. Note: Be careful, it will get quite hot so use caution, and oven mitts.
  3. Spoon the jam into a clean jar and let cool Store in the refrigerator, the jam will firm up as it cools.
  4. Use or freeze the jam within one week.

Notes

  • You can also use the hot jam, right out of the microwave, as a dessert sauce over cake or ice cream.
