Jam made from fresh figs with a little bit of sugar and water cooked over low heat on a stovetop. This fresh fig jam is delicious with crackers and on toast.
Ingredients
12-18 large figs
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Directions:
Slice the figs into fourths. Remove the skin from the figs if you prefer the jam to be smooth. Leave the skin of the figs if you prefer a more preserve-like consistency.
Place the figs into a small to medium pot. Add water to prevent the figs from becoming burnt at the bottom. Cook the figs at a low to medium heat.
After about 5 minutes, add the granulated sugar and stir to evenly incorporate the sugar.
Cook the figs at a low to medium heat, stirring every once in awhile to prevent the figs from becoming burnt at the bottom.
Around 30 minutes, the figs should have a jam-like consistency.
Remove the jam from heat and allow them to cool to room temperature. Then store the jam in an air tight container, best in a jar. Refrigerate the jam for up to two weeks.
Serve the jam with crackers or toast.
