    Ingredients

    • 4 1/2 c. crushed fresh strawberries (wash and stem before crushing)
    • 1 box (1 3/4-ounce.) powdered fruit pectin
    • 7 c. sugar

    Directions

    1. In 3-quart. casserole, place berries and pectin. Stir well. Cover. Microwave at High (10) 8 to 10 min, till mix is at a full rolling boil. Add in sugar to boiling mix and stir well. Microwave at High (10) 8 to 1 min, uncovered, stirring after 5 min, till mix reaches a full rolling boil. Then, time for 1 minute of boiling. Skim off foam with metal spoon, stirring jam about 5 min before ladling into prepared glasses. Seal.
    2. Makes 8 c.
    3. Note:This recipe is from a 1983 GE Microwave Guide and Cookbook and was intended for, I believe, a 600-watt oven. The newer microwaves are higher in wattage, so you would need to watch the timing. Also, it doesn't mention storage of the jam, but I would keep it refrigerated.
