Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh figs
- 2 whole Habanero peppers
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash and quarter the figs, removing the stems.
Wear gloves and carefully remove the stems and seeds from the habanero peppers. Finely dice the peppers. (Adjust the quantity of seeds depending on your heat preference.)
In a medium saucepan, combine the figs, habanero peppers, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, water, and salt.
Stir the mixture together and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 25–30 minutes or until the figs break down and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
If a smoother texture is desired, use an immersion blender to blend the jam in the saucepan until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool for about 5–10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal tightly.
Allow the jam to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or processing it in a water bath for long-term storage.
