Tested

"It'll be unfair to rate this as I haven't made it yet. But I am going to try it, that's a promise. However on the topic regarding pectin and microwave jams. The lemon juice together with the 'Jam' sugar should be enough to provide for the pectin. We've made the following recipe with succes in the microwave, ie 900watts oven. 500g fruit, 30ml lemon juice and 350g sugar. Wash and drain the fruit. Mix with the lemon juice in rather big bowl and microwave for about 5min at full power. Add the sugar, mix well and microwave for further 18min. Stir and go for another 2min. Jam should now be ready. But good to test first. Cool a little, bottle and seal. "
