  1. Combine 1 cup chopped fresh figs, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, then stir well.
  3. Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency (approximately 15-20 minutes total microwave time).
