Comment préparer Grandma Lofftus Fig Jam

Gently wash and slice 2 pounds of fresh figs under running water. Place them in a large bowl with 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of water. Let stand overnight (or at least 4 hours) to help break down the figs and prevent browning.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the fig mixture, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, juice of 1 lemon, and zest of 1 orange. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and continue to simmer for about 60-75 minutes, or until the jam has thickened significantly and is clear. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has risen to the surface.
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal with lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath according to standard canning instructions for safe storage.
