List of Ingredients




5 pounds figs
6 cups sugar
3/4th cup water
1/4th cup lemon juice


Recipe



To prepare figs: Completely cover figs with boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes. Drain, stem and chop figs. Measure 2 quarts chopped figs.

To prepare jam: Combine figs, sugar and water in a large saucepot. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook rapidly to gelling point. As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Add lemon juice and cook 1 minute longer.

Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4th inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.

Yield: about 5 pints.
