Serves 8

Ingredients

Fresh figs
2 cups, chopped
Oranges
2, zested and juiced
Granulated sugar
1 cup
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped figs, orange zest, orange juice, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves and the mixture does not stick.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool for a few minutes.
  5. Transfer the warm jam to sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top, and seal tightly.
  6. Let the jam cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.
  7. Enjoy your fig and orange jam spread on warm toast, as a filling in pastries, or as a sweet addition to yogurt and desserts!

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg to the mixture.
  • 💡 This jam pairs beautifully with goat cheese or cream cheese for a lovely appetizer.
  • 💡 If you prefer a smoother jam, you can blend the mixture with an immersion blender after it has cooled slightly.
