Fig Jam
This fig jam recipe uses dried figs, just 4 simple ingredients in total, and takes 30 minutes. It’s quick, rich, and one of the easiest jams you’ll ever make at home.
Ingredients
- 500 g Dried figs
- ¾ Cups Granulated sugar (I use organic cane)
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
- Sprinkle Toasted sesame seeds (Optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Place over medium heat and let the sugar melt, stirring once or twice so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- While that’s happening, cut the dried figs into small pieces.
- Once the sugar has fully dissolved, add the chopped figs. Mix to coat them well and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.When the mixture starts boiling, add the lemon juice and give it another stir.
- Let it cook until some of the water evaporates, but not completely, you still want a bit of liquid. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes. When the jam is ready, turn off the heat. Blend with a hand blender if you like, I usually blend about 3/4 of it and leave a bit chunky for texture.
- Sprinkle in some toasted sesame seeds, stir, and transfer to a clean, sterilized jar.
