Here's a quick and simple recipe for fig jam that you can whip up in no time:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh figs, washed and stems removed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Water (as needed)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Figs:
- Wash the figs thoroughly and remove the stems.
- Chop the figs into quarter pieces.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- Place the chopped figs, granulated sugar, honey, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized saucepan.
3. Cook the Mixture:
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Stir continuously to prevent sticking and burning. Monitor the liquid levels; if it seems too dry, add a little water. If it’s too soupy, increase the heat slightly.
4. Thicken the Jam:
- Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. This should take about 20-30 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool to room temperature.
5. Store the Jam:
- Transfer the cooled jam to a jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
