Ingredients Needed
2 pounds of fresh figs
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup of water
Optional: A sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor
Tools Required
Large pot
Spoon
Knife and cutting board
Sterilized jars for storing
Preparation Steps
1. Prepare the Figs: Begin by washing the figs thoroughly. Remove the stems and chop the figs into small pieces. The size of the pieces will determine the texture of your jam—smaller pieces for a smoother jam, and larger chunks if you prefer a chunkier consistency.
2. Cook the Figs: Place the chopped figs in a large pot. Add the lemon juice and water. The lemon juice not only adds flavor but also helps preserve the color and texture of the jam. If you like, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract at this stage for an aromatic twist.
