How to Make Strawberry Fig Preserves
- Wash and hull 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Halve or quarter larger berries.
- Gently wash and chop 1 pound of fresh figs. Remove any stems.
- In a large Dutch oven, combine the strawberries, figs, 4 cups granulated sugar, and 1 (3 ounce) package of strawberry flavored gelatin.
- Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate should wrinkle when pushed with a finger).
- Carefully ladle the hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for details).
- Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check seals by pressing down on the center of each lid; if it doesn't flex, the jar is sealed.
