Cómo preparar Spiced Fig Preserves
- Finely chop 1 lemon's zest and juice in a food processor.
- Add 2 pounds of fresh figs to the food processor.
- Pulse on/off until figs are coarsely pureed but still retain some texture.
- Transfer the fig mixture to a heavy-bottomed large saucepan.
- Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to jam consistency and a candy thermometer registers 220°F (104°C), about 20-25 minutes. (Note: Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the moisture content of your figs.)
- Remove from heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
- Carefully ladle the hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude).
- Let the jars cool completely; you should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the seals set.
- Once cooled, store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 2 months. Makes approximately 4-5 (8-ounce) jars.
- These Spiced Fig Preserves make wonderful holiday gifts!
