  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.

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