My family gave me a fig tree a few years ago. Every year it gives us SO much fruit! This week I decided to try to make fig jam an and it turned out so good!
3 lbs figs (ends cut off and then quartered)
1/3 cup orange or lemon juice
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1. Combine figs and sugar off the heat. Let sit for 30 minutes.
2. Combine all ingredients over medium heat. Once it starts to boil, lower heat and stir.
3.Allow it to cook and stir from 45-1 hour. Once thickened, either use an immersion blender or pour ingredients into blender and blend until smooth to what consistency you choose.
4. Place in jar and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
