Greek Fig Jam

Greek Fig Jam

• Ingredients
• 1 cup figs
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• ¼ tsp cloves, ¼ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp vanilla

I like to peel my ripe figs and cut them in 4

Place the figs in a heavy pot with the sugar and the lemon

Simmer the figs in moderate heat for about 15 min.stirring from time to time, add the cloves, cinnamon and vanilla.

Continue cooking 5 more minutes.

If froth develops remove with a spoon for a more transparent jam.

Put a small plate in the freezer part of your refrigerator for a few minutes, so you can test the consistency of the fig  jam…You will be able to see fast how thick you want your jam to be, if it is too thin cook a few more minutes.

Put your jars in the dishwasher for a wash and they are ready to use…

You will keep your fig  jam in your fridge and it will keep well for 4-5 months…But I am sure it will not last that long

I envy in a good way people with fig trees; they will have so much pleasure from their tree…If they now what to do…. 

P.S Don’t be afraid to double or make the recipe bigger!
