Comment préparer Southern Fig Preserves

Combine 4 cups fresh figs (whole), 3 cups granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency (about 20-30 minutes). A good test is to spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate; if it wrinkles when cooled slightly, it's ready.
While the fig preserves simmer, prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Keep jars hot until filling.
Carefully ladle the hot fig preserves into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal with lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing (refer to a canning resource for detailed instructions on water bath canning).
Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy your homemade Southern Fig Preserves!
