Main Ingredients- 4 fresh mandarins

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Peel the thoroughly washed mandarins and separate the segments. Place all the mandarin segments into a microwave-safe bowl.

Step 10
Heat for 5 minutes. Repeat this process three times for a total of 15 minutes. Step 1: Microwave for 5 minutes. Step 2: Remove, stir well, and microwave for another 5 minutes. Step 3: Microwave for a final 5 minutes.
Step 11
The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage and the moisture content of the mandarins. I microwaved it for 5 minutes twice (10 minutes total), checked the consistency, and then added another 5 minutes for a total of 15 minutes to achieve my desired jam thickness. Observe the jam as it heats; it will thicken as it boils. Please note that the jam will thicken further as it cools. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
