You don’t need any canning equipment to make fresh jam–this recipe calls for just 15 minutes and a microwave. Low in sugar, the jam gets an exciting lift from Meyer lemon. It keeps in the refrigerator up to 6 weeks.

 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
 1/4 cup sugar
  Zest of 1 large Meyer lemon
 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
