Ingredients
- 4 cups figs, fresh
- 2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 lemon, sliced (you should have 1/4 cup lemon slices)
- 1 tablespoon pectin
How to Make
-
Step 1: Rinse the figs and then remove stems and discard. Cut figs in half, vertically.
-
Step 2: In a large saucepan combine all the ingredients (figs - pectin) and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally or until thickened. As figs soften, it is helpful to mash the figs with a potato masher to break up the larger figs.
-
Step 3: Spoon mixture into sterilized jars, wiping off any drips. Place lids and rings on jars.
-
Step 4: Process in a water bath for 10 minutes or longer depending on altitude. I processed them for 20 minutes as I am at a higher altitude.
-
Step 5: Remove jars from hot water bath with canning tongs and let cool completely.
