 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4      Cups          rhubarb -- diced
    1      Large Can     peaches with juice
    1 1/2  Cups          sugar

 See note about microwave times!!
 
 Chop the peaches and combine all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Cover
 the surface of the mixture with waxed paper.  Microwave on high for 7-10
 minutes, until it comes to a full bowl.  Remove the waxed paper and cook on
 high for 15-25 minutes, unti l very syrupy, checking frequently in the last
 10 minutes. Store in jam jars... freezes well too.

 NOTES : My microwave is only 500 watts, so cooking time will be shorter if
 you have a "real" microwave. You may want more sugar if you don't want this
 jam to be as tart as
 rhubarb can be.
