Run a finger through centre of jam, if jam begins to wrinkle and stays in place, it is ready. If not, continue to microwave, in 2-minute bursts, then test again. Spoon hot jam into hot sterilised jars; seal while hot.

To sterilise jars, preheat oven to 120°C. Place freshly washed jars on a baking tray; heat for 30 minutes. Use while hot. This recipe was tested using a 750-watt microwave oven. If you use a higher wattage oven, cook on a tower heat setting.
