How to Make Fig Jam 2
- Wash figs thoroughly in cold water and remove stems. Roughly chop figs (optional, for smoother jam).
- Place chopped figs in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add lemon juice, zest, and water. Stir to combine.
- Stir in the Sure-Jell fruit pectin according to package directions.
- Turn heat to high and bring mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Add sugar all at once. Stir continuously.
- Continue stirring constantly, maintaining a hard boil for exactly 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that forms on the surface. Allow to sit, stirring occasionally to release any additional foam (about 5 minutes).
- Ladle the hot jam into clean, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean and firmly attach lids.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude – check your canning guide).
- Turn off heat and let jars sit in the water bath for 5 minutes before carefully removing.
- Let jars cool completely and check that seals are secure (lids should not flex). Store in a cool, dark place.
