  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: about 2 cups of fig jam 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of ripe figs, chopped
  • 1 cup of honey (preferably raw and organic)
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon extract (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 cup of water (if needed for consistency)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the ripe figs thoroughly. Chop them into small pieces to help release their natural juices and ensure a smooth texture in your jam.
  2. In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine chopped figs, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 20-25 minutes until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of water to adjust the texture.
  4. To check if your jam is ready, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when gently pushed, it’s done. Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and allow to cool before refrigerating.

Notes

  • Ensure your jars are sterilized to prolong freshness and safety.
  • If you prefer a smoother jam, blend the cooked mixture slightly before bottling.
  • For a softer or more cooked flavor, cook an additional 5-10 minutes.
