Cinnamon Fig Jam
 
 
A delightfully simple jam with big flavor!
Ingredients
  • 6 cups figs (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • 4½ cups sugar (I use non-GMO cane sugar)
  • 1 packet powdered pectin
Instructions
  1. Cut the tops off the figs and put them into a blender or food processor along with the water, lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla and blend until smooth.
  2. Measure all your sugar, placing 4 cups in one bowl and ½ cup into a separate bowl.
  3. Add the pectin to the bowl with the ½ cup of sugar and mix well.
  4. Now add your fix mixture to a pot and stir in the pectin mixture.
  5. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  6. When it reaches a boil, add in the remaining sugar and stir well.
  7. When the mixture returns to a full boil, set a timer and let it boil hard for 1 minute.
  8. Skim off excess foam from the top, and check for gel by dipping out a small amount with a VERY cold spoon.
  9. If it hasn't gelled, you will need to add more pectin (about a tablespoon) and boil for another minute before checking again.
  10. Now ladle your jam into hot, sterilized jars, lid and process for 5 minutes in a hot water bath.
