Description
Making jam is a fast and easy way to enjoy your late summer fruit. This was so easy; I didn’t have a vanilla bean, but I did have a craving for honey, so I simply substituted it. The experiment was a success, and I had spreadable jam in no time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 15–20 small fresh figs, stems removed and chopped
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (85g) honey
Instructions
- Combine ingredients in a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil (may need a little water, but wait and see how much the fruit produces).
- Adjust heat so that it boils steadily. If the mixture is too soupy, increase heat; too dry, decrease. Cook and stir until the mixture is a thick liquid (there will be chunks of figs-this is nice and natural).
- Let cool and store in a jar for up to a week in the refrigerator.
