Wild strawberries and easy microwave jam

Of all places, in a corner of our front garden, there are hundreds (literally) of wild strawberries growing. The boys are enjoying themselves plucking some daily. Though tiny compared to standard ones, they taste the same and I have made some jam/compote in the microwave.
Its very simple:
Add the same amount of sugar as strawberries or a bit more.
Add some lemon juice for pectin to get it to set. 
Leave overnight in the fridge. ( This is to get the strawberries to keep their shape without becoming a mush)
Microwave for a few minutes.
Put in clean jar.
Thats it.
Its lovely.
