you can make small batches of strawberry jam ina microwave oven.
Strawbs into a large bowl, high power untill soft, quick bash with a potato masher, add equal weight of sugar and stir till dissolved, then nuke on high until it tries to climb out of the bowl, test on cold plate and into a jar. I don't worry about sterilising jaars as I only make small batches and eat it long before it can go off.
