Microwave Kumquat Jam #glutenfree #glytenfreerecipes #glutenfreecooking

We hope all the traditional jam makers out there do not mind our breaking with the tradition of the boiler and wooden spoon to create jam. Once you have made jam in the microwave you will not go back to the time consuming stove top method. This tart breakfast favourite is a treat that tingles the taste buds and is generally not available in stores.
