Fig Jam

Figs are just the loveliest fruit, and this Fig Jam Recipe means you can enjoy the flavour of figs long after their short season ends.

From the end of summer, grab fresh figs while you can because it really is only a matter of weeks before their season comes to an end.

Get fancy with Fig Jam 

You can enjoy Fig Jam, like other jams, with toast, scones or croissants.

However, it really is best enjoyed with something more savoury.

Salty crackers and a variety of cheeses pair well with Fig Jam. Try brie, aged cheddar, blue or a goat cheese. 

Making Fig Jam 

So one of the great things about this recipe is its simplicity.

There are just three ingredients plus water required to make the most delicious Fig Jam.

Those three ingredients are:

• figs
• white vinegar
• caster sugar.

First, you wash the figs and remove any stems.

Next, roughly chops the figs and set aide.

Now, combine the vinegar and sugar with water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and boil away for 10 minutes. 

Next, add the figs and boil again for about an hour and a half. You’ll know your jam is ready once it becomes a more golden colour and thickens.

This recipe makes about 3 or 4 small-medium jars, and the jam should last a few months in the fridge.
