We have a fig tree that is loaded, so I made fig jam, here is my recipe:
Ingredients 1 kg. of figs 500 gm. of sugar 1 tablespoon of all spice 1 tablespoon of cinnamon juice of ½ a lemon Directions Weigh the figs after topping and cleaning the bottoms. Choose how chunky you like your jam, I like jam with pieces. If the skins are greenish and hard, cut into small pieces, green figs contain more pectin than the ripe fruits, so it may help to include some slightly green fruit. Done peel as fig skin will soften while boiling. Add spices and lemon juice. Cover with sugar and allow to sit for 2 hours. Slowly bring the mixture to the boil over 15-20 minutes, then slowly boil for 1 hour stiring occasionally, cool. Slowly boil for 15 minutes the next day. Cool. Pour into sterilized jars, cover and let cool.
