Tips:
- To make the jam, you will need fresh, ripe figs. If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs, but be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot to make the jam. This will help to prevent the jam from burning.
- Cook the jam over medium heat. If you cook the jam over too high heat, it will scorch and become bitter.
- Stir the jam constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Use a candy thermometer to test the temperature of the jam. The jam is ready when it reaches a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the jam from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes before pouring it into jars.
- Process the jars of jam in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. This will help to seal the jars and prevent spoilage.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place. The jam will keep for up to 1 year.
