Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Serve with toasted bread, crackers, or chips.
  • Substitute bacon for pancetta, prosciutto or guanciale.
  • Add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Save Time with Anytime Trays: Allow jam to cool completely, about 10-15 minutes. Portion evenly into the Anytime Trays, cover with lid and freeze.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
