Fig Jam

[Armymomof2]

2 quart chopped figs, about 5 lbs
6 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice

To prepare chopped figs, cover figs with boiling water. Let stand 10
minutes. Drain, stem and chop figs.
Combine figs, sugar, and 3/4 c.

water in a large sauce pot. Bring slowly
to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook rapidly until thick.

Stir
frequently to prevent sticking. Add lemon juice and cook 1 minute longer.
Pour hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4″ head space. Adjust caps.

Process 15
minutes in boiling water bath.

Yield: About 5 pints

Yum, we planted fig trees a few years ago, but they haven;t really taken off very well. I’d love to get enough figs to make this jam this year! 🙂 It sounds delicious.

Sadly all 4 jars I got were gone in a month and half…dang on PB&J sandwich eating fools in my house.
