Fig Jam

From tree to table.....................

Yum.....

Here's the Recipe.

1 Kilo figs washed and quartered.

500 grams raw sugar.

1 tablespoon lemon juice.

Simmer gently together until jam gels when tested.  Mine took not quite an hour.  Blend out larger lumps with a stick blender if desired and bottle into hot sterilised jars.

I sterilise my jars by washing in hot soapy water, rinsing in really hot water, and then placing upright onto a tea towell placed into the baking dish in the oven.  Heat for approx 20 mins at 100c.  The jars are then hot, upright and ready to fill (like me!)
