Homemade Fig Preserves

figs

sugar

lemon juice

lemon zest (optional)

nutmeg (optional)

In a large pot, combine the figs and sugar. Let them sit for about 2 hours.

Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.

Heat the pot over medium high heat until it comes to a boil.

Cook down until the figs become very soft and the syrup begins to thicken, about 10-20 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat. Add the lemon zest and nutmeg, if desired.

Preserves will continue to thicken for 24-48 hours.

Fig Preserves

5/5 YOUR RECIPE IS THE G.O.A.T. I used your recipe a year ago and it was wonderful — my fig preserves got so many compliments! I tried a different recipe this year because I didn’t bookmark this one — BIG MISTAKE. My preserves were too sweet and so tough. I tried to remember the details and finally found yours again. SUCCESS!! Changes I made: I don’t like nutmeg or lemon zest, so I swapped out cardamom. I also used 1 cup coconut sugar &amp; 2.5 cups granulated sugar.  PERFECTION. THANK YOU

Would it be fine to use 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice or is bottled preferred?  Thanks!  :)

Wonderful recipe! Our fig tree had a out a hundred fidgs last year. This year the tree has tripled in size and I bet we have thousands! I would  like to follow you. While making the jam I was watching several of your recipes! WOW they all look great. I can't wait to try them.
