Varenye is similar to jam except the fruits are not macerated, and no gelling agent is added. It is characterized by a thick but transparent syrup having the natural colour of the fruits.

Well, i don't know recipe, because i don't know japanese, but in our language jam almost never talk. Lie some, talking ofcourse but when you said varenye it's meaning jam too. Just need to wait for another one who translate recipe and solve the problem of what artist means (add check_translation)
Hah, never heard of it being cooked in the microwave oven. I wonder if it tastes the same as the "regular" one. Generally, varenye is just any type of fruit or berry boiled in sugar syrup, and in the past it was mainly used as a supplement for long cold winters along with pickled vegetables, as it can be safely stored for months in any sterilized container. The tradition is dying out in big cities where fruits can be bought any time of year, but in smaller towns or villages you still can find entire shelves filled with jars of varenye :3

The recipe specifically says "how to make varenye with microwave oven." :3
As a starving college student, I just did this with some frozen strawberries from the cafeteria and it seemed to work. Who knows how long it will last though. Hopefully for a while, but I'm not going to risk botulism.
