Figs are in season, so I decided to make jam out of them!

Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking – you could decrease the amount if you want, but if you plan on keeping the jam for a long time be sure to use an amount of sugar that's over 50% of the weight of the figs. Recipe by uzukaji. (Yields two 170 g jars.)

Ingredients

1 serving
  1. 4Figs (about 400 g)
  2. 160 gramsGranulated sugar (or caster sugar), (about 40% of the weight of the figs)
  3. 1 tbspLemon juice

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the figs (they can be easily peeled by hand), and slice.

  2. 2

    Add the figs to a pot and add the sugar and lemon juice on top. Let sit for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook over a low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Mash with a spatula as you cook and skim off any residue that floats to the surface.

  4. 4

    When it looks like this, it's ready!

  5. 5

    Sterilize the jars in boiling water. Pour the jam into the jars, put the lids on, flip upside down and let cool.

  6. 6

    I really recommend trying it mixed in with natural yogurt!

Great easy recipe. I was given cleaned frozen figs and weighed them with juice which worked well. I had to chop up the figs to make the pieces smaller.
