How to Make Fig Conserve

  1. Wash 1 pound of fresh figs and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped figs with 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple, the juice of 2 lemons, 1 pound granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the conserve has thickened to a jam-like consistency, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  5. Remove from heat and carefully ladle the hot conserve into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure safe storage. (Refer to your jar manufacturer's instructions for precise processing times).
  6. Allow the jars to cool completely. Once cooled, check for proper sealing (the lids should not flex when pressed). Store in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
