Three ingredients are all you need to create your own exquisite fig jam! This delicious recipe makes a medium-sized batch of this sweet, spreadable jam. Fresh figs, with their skins, are combined with sugar and a little lemon juice, and simmered to perfection without the addition of pectin. The result? A luscious, thick-textured jam that can be stored for year-round use, or enjoyed immediately when stored in the fridge. For greater precision, keep a candy thermometer handy, or master the art of testing jam preparation without a thermometer.
But that’s not all: figs offer a host of health benefits, providing fiber, vitamins and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium. With their delicious honey flavor, complemented by a delicate berry essence, figs are a delectable addition to your culinary repertoire. When made into jam, their natural fragrance and flavor intensify and harmonize perfectly with a whole range of dishes. From savory dishes like pork, lamb, cheese plates and deli spreads to delicious sweet and savory flatbreads and sandwiches, fig jam adds a touch of sophistication to every meal.
