Time 50m

Yield 9-10 1/2 pint jars, 160 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups brown sugar, packed
3 lbs figs, washed and quartered
3 large fresh peaches (pitted and chopped)
1/3 cup bottled lemon juice
1 3/4 ounces fruit pectin, no sugar needed
1 -2 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 vanilla bean, sliced in half
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup Grand Marnier

Steps:

  • Pulse figs and peaches in a food processor and pulse 8 - 10 times. Leaving some chunks.
  • Add all ingredients in a large heavy bottom saucepan. Cook over high heat stirring frequently to prevent scorching about 10-15 minutes or until full rolling boil.
  • Stir in white sugar. Return to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for (3) minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add Grand Marnier.
  • Remove cinnamon stick and vanilla pod.
  • Skim off foam. Ladle in hot sterilized jars, wipe rims and place lids and screw top on.
  • Place in a hot water bath covering by 1 inch of water. Process in boiling bath 10 minutes. Shut heat off and let sit in water bath 5 more minutes. Then remove the jars from the hot water without tilting and set aside to cool.
  • Leave for 12 hours then check the seals on the jars by pressing on the centers of the lids. If the lids do not spring back, they are vacuum sealed and the jam can be stored at room temperature.
  • Another way to check is to remove the ring and try to lift the lid. If it lifts up, it wasn't sealed properly. If the lid flexes, there is no seal, so store the jar in the freezer or refrigerator instead.

This jam is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
