Fresh Fig and Pecan Conserve image

My fig tree is a lovely sight to behold. A beautiful tree in my front yard. You can stand in the branches with the leaves all around you and the sun light filtering through. Then in the summer it offers up the most delicious fruit. The fig must be a misunderstood fruit because my most favorite recipe books do not have a recipe...

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 pounds fresh figs
2 1/2 c sugar
1/3 c lemon juice
1 Tbsp grated orange peel
1 c chopped pecans or walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse figs; clip and descard fig stems; chop figs and place in a 5 quart pot. Stir in sugar until well blended and allow to stand for 1 hour.
  • 2. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook, uncovered, stirring often for about 20 minutes or until thickened. Stir in lemon juice, orange peel, and nuts. Bring mixture to a boil again; boil, stirring often, for 3 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, prepare 5 half-pint canning jars. Sterilize jars by immersing them in water and boiling them for 15 min.; keep them immersed in the hot water until ready to fill. Pour cooked fruit into hot jars, to within 1/4 inch of top. Wipe rims with a clean, damp cloth. Place lids on jars and screw on ring bands as tightly as you comfortably can. Let cool on a towel out of draft; then press lids with your finger. If they stay down, they're sealed. Label and store in a cool, dark area.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I actually really enjoyed this conserve. The pecans add a nice crunch and the sweetness is just right.

Overall, I thought this conserve was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I think this conserve would be better if it had a bit more spice. I might add some cinnamon or nutmeg next time.

I found the instructions for this conserve to be a bit confusing. I had to reread them several times before I felt confident that I was doing it correctly.

This conserve is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
