If you’re a fan of sweet, tangy spreads, then you won’t want to miss out on this delicious homemade fig jam recipe. Whether you have a surplus of fresh figs from your garden or simply want to try something new in the kitchen, making your own jam is a fun and rewarding experience.
Fig jam has a unique flavor that pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes, making it a versatile addition to your pantry. Plus, by making your own jam, you can control the quality of the ingredients and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
This recipe will work with all kinds of fruit (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, etc.), so If you don’t have fresh fruit handy in the neighborhood where you live, just buy fresh fruit at the market. Buy figs that are a little soft, color can be a good indication, but not always, sometimes even the greener figs can be soft enough, so give figs a squeeze to test for squishiness.

Once picked, figs don’t last very long, maybe 2 days when ripe. You can keep fresh figs in the fridge, but they won’t keep for very long after becoming soft, only a couple of days, so making a jam is an easy way to extend their life another 7-10 days. And you can also seal extra fig jam in bags and freezes it for future use.
