Description

A ridiculously fast, easy and delicious small batch jam recipe.  Served while warm for a delicious berry dessert sauce or cool to room temperature for a jam.

My favorite variation is with blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla and 1 Lavendar Earl Grey teabag. 


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup berries

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

1 teabag of your choice (optional)

1 Tablespoon water


Instructions

Put all ingredients into a 1-2 quart mason jar or other glass container.

Place jar on a clean plate in microwave and microwave for 2 minutes.  Allow bubbles to subside. 

Microwave for another 2 minutes.

Serve warm or cool.


Notes

This will bubble up A LOT in the microwave.  Make sure the container is large enough to accommodate the bubbles.  If scaling the recipe up, increase the size of the container.  If it bubbles over onto the clean plate, just add the sauce back to the jar and finish the process keeping an eye on it.
