Easy fig jam

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 1 kg Fresh fig(s)
  • 500g Cane Sugar
  • 1 Citron(s)
Method · 40 min
  1. To make this very simple fig jam recipe, start by washing and removing the stems from your figs. Then cut them into quarters.
  2. In a preserving pan, place the quartered figs and the cane sugar. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fruit. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check if the fig jam is ready by placing a few drops on a saucer. If the jam sets, it's cooked. Otherwise, continue cooking.
  3. Blend your fig jam recipe immediately. Pour it into jars. Seal them and turn them upside down until completely cool. Enjoy your easy fig jam with foie gras for a savory version or on a slice of toast for breakfast.
