How to Make Fig And Ginger Jam

  1. Combine the quartered figs, sugar, water, lemon juice, and grated ginger in a slow cooker.
  2. Stir well to ensure the sugar is distributed evenly throughout the figs.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours, stirring twice during cooking.
  4. After 2 1/2 hours, remove the lid and increase the slow cooker temperature to high.
  5. Continue to cook for another 2-3 hours, or until the jam reaches your desired consistency. The jam should thicken considerably and coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Use a spoon to skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  7. Ladle the warm jam into sterilized spring-top jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, then seal tightly with the lids.
  9. Let the jars stand until completely cool. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
  10. Check the seals; if they haven't sealed properly, refrigerate and consume within 2 weeks. Otherwise, store sealed jars in a cool, dark pantry for up to 1 year.
  11. Alternatively, spoon the jam into small, freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months.
