Recipe

Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and chop them finely with a knife.
Place the strawberries in a heat-resistant container, add 60g of sugar and a pinch of salt, then press and mash well with a tool.
Put the container in the microwave without the lid and cook for 3 minutes on the first round.
Remove the container and let it cool slightly for 1 minute, making sure it doesn’t overflow.
Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove and stir slowly while cooling for 1 more minute.
Run the microwave for a final 2 minutes, then let it cool completely to set the desired consistency. Enjoy with bread or yogurt.

Wash the strawberries, mash them, mix in sugar and salt, and place in a heat-resistant container.
Heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, then 2 minutes, then 2 minutes again—without the lid.
Cool for 1 minute between each heating interval, check the consistency, and finish accordingly.

Cooking tips

To prevent overflow during heating, use a large heat-resistant container and never seal the lid.
Avoid continuous heating—allowing 1-minute cooling breaks between cycles is crucial to prevent spilling.
The jam becomes much more moist and chewy as it cools, so resist the urge to reheat even if it seems too runny right after cooking.

Recommended for

People who find it daunting to make jam by stirring over a stove for long periods.
Those who want to quickly turn leftover strawberries into homemade jam.
