This recipe appeared in the local paper a few years ago and the original recipe came from a woman named Bulah Baker. It is fabulous.

Categories     Lemon

Time 1h20m

Yield 3 pints, 96 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups ripened figs
3 cups sugar
3 cups water
2 medium navel oranges, thinly sliced (do not peel, but cut off and discard the ends)
2 lemons, thinly sliced (do not peel, but cut off and discard the ends)

Steps:

  • Wash and drain the figs. Cut off the stems and coarsley chop. (The original recipe leaves the figs whole, but pierced with a fork.).
  • Cook the water and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a full, rolling boil. Boil uncovered for 40-45 minutes over medium heat, stirring often. (Syrup should "sheet" from the back of a spoon.
  • Pour figs, orange and lemon slices into the hot bubbling syrup. (The ratio is one cup sugar and one cup water to 2 cups figs.) Boil over medium heat, stirring gently, for 30-35 minutes. (The length of time depends on personal preference for thickness of the syrup.).
  • Spoon into 3 pint-sized, sterilized canning jars, to within 1/4 inch from the top. Wipe the rims. Cover with metal lids and screw on the band. refrigerate or process for 10 minutes in a boiling bath.

I followed the recipe exactly and my marmalade turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This marmalade is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes their jams and jellies on the sweeter side.
