Fig jam




 Very easy and will keep 2 months in frig. Might be good on pancakes too. Found the recipe here: https://thesuburbansoapbox.com/easy-fig-jam/

The ingredients called for 1/4 cup of water BUT  it was not necessary with my figs— I had a lot of juice from them and had to cook it down!

Ingredients 


  • 2 pounds fresh figscut in quarters and stems removed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup water ( me- omit next time)
Go to the link for all the details. I ended up cooking it a lot longer to thicken it up. I probably had closer to 3 pounds and the cup of sugar was plenty. Some recipes call for 3/4 cup sugar for 2 pounds. Some recipes tell you to put the figs in a food processor first. I just used my potato masher as it was cooking.
