The figs can be placed in the food processor to crush by pulsing till mushy with some chunks. Using a candy Thermometer will help knowing the setting point, which is at 220 degrees. This has an optional Grand Marnier for a little extra treat.

This jam is a great way to use up ripe blueberries and figs. It's also a healthier alternative to store-bought jams, since it doesn't contain any added sugar.
