Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh figs
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 120 milliliters fresh orange juice
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the figs thoroughly and trim off any stems. Cut the figs into quarters.
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the quartered figs, granulated sugar, orange zest, and orange juice.
Lightly mash the figs with a fork or potato masher to break them down slightly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Add the rosemary sprig to the saucepan and stir it into the mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The jam should thicken as it cooks.
Remove the rosemary sprig from the saucepan once the jam has thickened to your desired consistency.
Stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove the pan from heat.
Allow the jam to cool slightly before transferring it into sterilized jars.
Seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
