How to Make Habanero Fig Jam Hot And Spicy Good

  1. Finely chop 2-3 apple habaneros (adjust to your spice preference).
  2. Combine chopped habaneros and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar in a food processor. Pulse until finely minced but not pureed.
  3. Transfer the habanero mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed, non-reactive pot.
  4. Add 2 pounds (900g) fresh figs, 1/2 cup (100ml) fig juice, 1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon liquid pectin.
  5. Stir well, ensuring the pectin is fully dissolved.
  6. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  7. Add the remaining 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar. Return to a rolling boil.
  8. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
  9. Remove from heat and carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  10. Wipe jar rims clean. Place lids and rings on jars, tightening to fingertip tightness.
  11. Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
  12. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely on a towel. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
  13. After 24 hours, check for proper sealing (lids should be concave). Label and store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
