Microwave Lemon Jam
Description
A simple preservation recipe. Microwave lemon jam is very easy to make. It takes no more than 30 minutes, and the jam turns out no worse than what you would have to boil down for hours. What should you know in advance? First, you must remove all seeds from the lemon. Second, the microwave must be powerful enough. When making lemon jam, use the highest power setting. Third, remember safety: be very careful, as the jam will boil and the bowl will get hot—protect your hands. And finally, do not forget to stop the microwave periodically and stir the contents. The sugar must dissolve well; if it does not have time to do so within 18 minutes, extend the cooking time. Good luck, and store in a cool, dark place.
