How to Make Super Strawberry Fig Jam Low Sugar

  1. Wash and hull 1 pound strawberries. Slice into quarters.
  2. Wash and stem 1 pound figs. Chop into small pieces (about 1/4 inch).
  3. Combine strawberries, figs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice (bottled, for standardized pH), and 1 package (1.75 oz) powdered pectin in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  4. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. This is crucial for proper setting.
  5. Once boiling, boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  7. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude; refer to a canning guide for precise instructions).
  9. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
