2 cups crushed strawberries
1-1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1-1/2 cups sugar
Prepare fruit and flavoring; place in a 2-quart microwave-safe glass measure or 2-1/2 to 3 quart casserole. Add sugar. Let stand until juices form (about 30 minutes).
Microwave uncovered, on High, for 6 minutes or until mixture begins to boil. Stir well. Microwave on High, 10 to 13 minutes, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon 1 tablespoon jam into a custard cup and refrigerate for 15 minutes to test for consistency. For thicker jam, reheat jam to boiling and microwave on High for 2 more minutes; retest. Makes about 2 cups. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 month or in freezer for up to 1 year.
