Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh figs
- 250 grams Fresh blueberries
- 120 milliliters Honey
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 50 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash and dry the figs and blueberries. Remove the stems from the figs and chop them into quarters.
Combine the figs, blueberries, honey, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the fruit begins to release its juices (about 5 minutes).
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Continue cooking, stirring regularly to prevent the bottom from scorching, for 25-30 minutes or until the mixture thickens. You can test the jam by placing a small dollop on a chilled plate; it should hold its shape without running.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the jam to sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headroom at the top. Seal the jars tightly with lids.
Allow the jam to cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator. The jam can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.
