From Simply Recipes and it is wonderful. This makes small batches. You can use mild green or mission figs and is great as a dipping sauce too.

Time 55m

Yield 16 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups diced fresh figs (6-10 figs, depending on the size of the figs)
1/2 cup orange, seeded peeled diced
1 1/2 cups sugar (reduce if you want, though it won't set as well)
1 1/2 teaspoons orange peel, grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon butter
2 (8 ounce) canning jars

Steps:

  • Place the ingredients in a large ceramic or glass bowl or casserole (a 2-quart Pyrex measuring cup works great), stir to combine, let sit for 30 minutes for the fruit to macerate in the sugar.
  • Place in microwave.
  • You will cook the fruit mixture on the high setting for approximately 15 minutes.
  • As soon as the mixture starts to boil, after about 6 to 8 minutes, stop the cooking and stir.
  • Continue cooking and stir every few minutes. At about 13 minutes the mixture should start to get viscous.
  • If you spoon out a bit on to a small plate that has been in the freezer, you can push the mixture around a bit with your finger tip to see how thick it is.
  • If it is runny, cook it a couple minutes more.
  • You can also check by seeing how the jam runs off of a spoon. If it seems to firm up a bit as it drips, it's done.
  • If you use a large Pyrex measuring cup, you can see that you start with close to 3 cups of liquid. You want to boil it down to 2 cups.

I would have liked the jam to be a bit thicker, but it was still very good.

This jam is a great way to use up leftover figs. I had a few figs that were starting to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I actually really liked this jam. The orange and spices help to balance out the fig flavor.

This jam is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be perfect for people who like a little heat in their food.

I didn't have any ground cloves on hand, so I used a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg instead. It still turned out great!

I used fresh figs from my garden in this recipe, and they gave the jam an amazing flavor. I highly recommend using fresh figs if you can get them.

I was a bit skeptical about making jam in the microwave, but I was pleasantly surprised. The jam cooked evenly and quickly, and it turned out just as good as if I had made it on the stovetop.

The jam turned out perfectly! It has a beautiful amber color and a thick, spreadable consistency. The flavors are well-balanced and not too sweet. I can't wait to try it on my morning toast.

This fig orange jam is a delightful treat! The combination of sweet figs and tangy oranges, with a hint of spice, creates a unique and flavorful spread. It's perfect for enjoying on toast, scones, or even as a glaze for grilled chicken or fish.
