Cómo preparar Fig Preserves
- Gently wash 1 pound of fresh figs in cold water and quarter them, removing stems.
- Place the quartered figs in a large bowl, cover with cool water, and soak for 20 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue boiling the syrup until it becomes clear and slightly thick (approximately 15 minutes).
- Add the quartered figs and thinly sliced lemon to the clear syrup.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat for 1 minute.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the figs have softened and released their juices.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Carefully transfer the fig mixture to a blender. Pulse several times until the figs and lemon are finely ground but still retain some texture. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot).
- Return the blended mixture to the saucepan. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Ladle the hot fig preserves into clean, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe jar rims clean, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
