Homemade Fig Preserves

figs

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.

Small-Batch Fig Jam is the easiest way to make homemade fig jam recipe!  There&#39;s no pectin, refined sugar or canning requirements, and it&#39;s a great way to enjoy fresh figs!

Small-Batch Fig Jam

coconut sugar (or sub with granulated sugar)

honey

lemon (juiced)

vanilla extract

Cook jam

Place the figs, sugar, honey, and lemon juice in a large sauce pan and heat over medium heat, stirring to combine.  Cook until the sugar melts, then bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium low and cook until thickened, about 45 minutes. Be sure to stir the fig jam often to prevent it from burning, especially as the mixture thickens.

Cool

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.  Cool completely then transfer to jars and refrigerate.  Enjoy!

I have made this recipe countless times. I dont use coconut sugar. I use vanilla sugar if i have it on hand otherwise i sub out more honey. I also use key lime juice instead of lemon juice. Gives it a little zing. Its so beautiful, i love seeing it through the jars, it just screams accomplishment 😊

I have a fig bush in my yard and it is producing like crazy. It always does. (Brown Turkey Fig). I have frozen many and will continue to do so until this years crop is all harvested. I hope I can make this jam once the figs have been frozen. 
It will make way more then we can useso some of it will be gifted. Trans so much for this lively recipe. 

I just made a batch. I don’t usually use honey, but I was low on sugar and found a little jar of honey in the cupboard. This was delicious. I made 2 batches , one with sugar and one half honey half sugar, (I don’t have coconut sugar) I really like This one with honey. It’s not as sweet and the flavor of the figs really comes through. It is delicious!And so easy!

Wow! This recipe is wonderful, and the honey adds so much flavor (I used raw)! I just made my second batch, after a neighbor offered up figs from her tree, and I needed to make some fig things. I used 4 oz mini quilted jars, And each batch made 8 jars plus some extra for us to eat now :) I did can them to use for holiday gifts. They will pair beautifully with charcuterie!

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.
