MICROWAVE STRAWBERRY JAM 
4 c. (960 mL) strawberries, crushed
1 tbsp. (15 mL) lemon juice
1/4 c. (60 mL) powdered pectin
3 c. (720 mL) sugar
1/2 tsp. (2.5 mL) ground coriander (optional)

Combine strawberries, lemon juice and pectin in a 3 quart (2850 mL) microwave- safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper and bring to a boil in the microwave oven on high setting (about 7 minutes).

Remove from oven and stir. Cover and cook 3 minutes in microwave oven. Add remaining ingredients. Return uncovered mixture to oven and cook until jam sheets from spoon (about 1 minute).

Skim foam; pour into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch (6 mm) head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Do not attempt to process in microwave oven. Yield: about 4 eight ounce jars (960 mL).

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
