microwave jam

[CaroltheCarrot]

have just made the microwave jam from the good food mag,but it seems very watery,
should i boil it to death and hope it sets or just abandon it as a bad job?

I do not know what your recipe requires Carol but I always make jam in the microwave. Yes, if it is still runny reheat in the microwave until the usual setting test is acquired.

thanks bren, it was equal quantities of fruit and sugar(500g) in this case
tastes very nice though and so easy.

this was my first time doing it in the micro normally do it the normal way.
Do you have a recipes please.

Carol, I use any recipe but instead of using a saucepan I use a large pyrex bowl. Maybe the only hint I can give is to sweat the fruit to soft before adding sugar.
