Recipe Introduction


My grandfather on my mother side, had many many many Fig Trees in the back yard in New Orleans. Nothing, my dear is greater than a fresh fig. Try one if you ever have one in your hands. You will love it. Dry ones....forget it.


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.
