Three Ingredient Microwave Jam

2 c. strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, apricots, peaches, etc..., fresh or frozen
1/4 c. sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon

In a large bowl, combine the desired fruit, lemon juice, and sugar. Be sure to use an extra large bowl as it will bubble up in the cooking process. Microwave on high 9-11 minutes. No need to mash as the fruit will cook down. The mixture will form a thick, shiny liquid. The jam will also thicken as it cools. Transfer to a jar or airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator 4-6 weeks.

For stovetop method:

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over medium low heat 7-10 minutes, until the fruit is broken down and the mixture has thickened. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate 4-6 weeks.
