How to Make Fig Conserve
- Wash 1 pound of fresh figs and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- 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).
- 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.
