Fig Lime Jam
The second recipe, the Fig Lime Jam uses Brown Turkey figs and Cheryl called me to get the adaptation since the original recipe was for a version that went into the refrigerator to be used for something else.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup bottled lime juice
- 2 lbs fresh Brown Turkey figs, cut into 1/4 inch pieces, about 6 cups
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large heavy saucepan. Let stand two hours to overnight. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat, simmer for 35 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Sterilize 4 half pints jars, Ladle hot fig jam into the jars, remove air bubbles, fill to 1/4" headspace. Wipe rims, add hot lids/rings. Process in water bath for 10 minutes at a full rolling boil.
- Cheryl also said that these are really dense but healthy muffins and the taste of the fig jam gave it the moistness that it needed.
