This has to be one of my all time favorite jam recipes i make it almost every year, then promptly give as many jars away to friends because i easily tempted by it. The recipe was given to me some years back from the lovely Andrea McNamara during her PrinTinTin days. Its very easy and the flavors are oh so good- the sweetness is balanced by a bit of gingery zing with a touch of caramel is the closest i can get to describing it. You can use the brown or green skinned figs not to over ripe is good.
The recipe is as follows:
3 kg Figs (chop into quarters)
2kg sugar
650 mls of water
3 lemons finely cut
100 gms Glaze Ginger (chop according to taste)
Dissolve the sugar in the water and bring to the boil. Boil rapidly for 10mins.
Place figs and lemon in with the sugar and boil gently for 2hrs. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the ginger prior to placing in sterilised jars.
