To make Microwave Jam: Only a small amount of fruit necessary and NO pectin. And the jam cooks up so fast you can even serve it warm 20 minutes after you start. Color and flavor are lovely, too. Store in the refrigerator for up to three months—OR IT CAN BE FROZEN. (which is what we do!) Prepare specific fruit as directed below. Place in a 3-quart casserole. Add specific amount of sugar, butter, lemon juice and flavoring. Cook, UNCOVERED, on high about 15 minutes, boiling. Boil ONLY 2 minutes. Test again.
