     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.
