How to Make Strawberry Figs
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups chopped fresh figs, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon strawberry extract (or 1/2 teaspoon peach extract for the peach variation).
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. (The mixture should sheet off a spoon.)
- Remove from heat and carefully skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
- Ladle the hot preserves into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean and place lids and bands on jars. Tighten bands fingertip-tight.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust according to your altitude; consult a canning guide for specific instructions).
- Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check for a good seal after cooling; if lids don't depress when pressed, they are sealed.
