Title: Simple Homemade Fig Preserves
Categories: Jams
Yield: 2 Cups
2 lb Ripe figs; tough stems
-removed
1 1/2 c Sugar
6 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 tb Water; up to 2 tb; if needed
Stir together the figs, sugar and juice in a medium saucepan. Bring
to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. If the figs are not
fully ripe and the mixture is dry, add a little water, as needed.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the figs collapse into a soft,
thickened stew, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The
preserves should fall off the spoon in thick, heavy drops.
Pour into one 1-pint jar or two 1-cup jars that have been sterilized
in boiling water. Close with tight-fitting lids and let stand
undisturbed until the preserves cool to room temperature. Store in
the refrigerator for up to three months.
