Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh figs
- 300 grams apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 250 grams granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 120 milliliters water
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Wash the figs thoroughly and remove the stems. Chop the figs into small pieces.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped figs, diced apples, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
If desired, add ground cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Continue cooking for 40-45 minutes, or until the fruit has broken down and the mixture reaches a thick, jam-like consistency.
To check if the jam is ready, place a small spoonful of it on a chilled plate. If it thickens and wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, it’s done.
Remove the jam from heat and carefully spoon it into sterilized jars while still hot. Leave about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars with lids and allow the jam to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath canner for long-term storage.
