Fig Jam




Source of Recipe


from circus recipes


List of Ingredients




5 lbs. fresh figs
6 c. sugar
water to cover, plus 3/4 c.
1/4 c. lemon juice

Recipe



First you need to get the figs ready.
Completely cover the figs with boiling water.
Let stand for 10 minutes; then drain.
Cut the stems off and chop the figs up.
You will need 2 quarts of chopped figs.
Combine the 2 quarts of figs, sugar and the 3/4 c. water in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil slowly and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Then cook rapidly until it gets to a gelling point.
Be sure to stir frequently as the mixture thickens to prevent it from sticking.
Add the lemon juice and cook 1 minute longer.
Remove from heat.
Skim any foam from the top if necessary.
Ladle into hot jars, leaving 1/4" space at the top.
Seal and hot water bath for 15 minutes.
Makes 5 pints.
