Strawberry Fig Jam
- 4 cup Chopped figs
- 2 cup Chopped strawberry
- 4 cup White sugar
- 2 box Sure jell or any pectin
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- Chop (or easiest way blender) up figs and strawberrys.
- I always have tons of figs so I make several batches but chop all ingredients first
- Put 6 cups of fruit mixture (I say mixture bc I blend it all together) in large saucepan and turn on heat to medium
- Add lemon juice
- Mix 1 1/2 packets of pectin with 1/2 cup of sugar then pour and stir in mixture until no lumps remain
- Bring to a hard boil stirring constantly until the boil can't be stirred away then add remaining 3 1/2 cups of sugar
- Stir until no lumps then cook for 10-12 minutes stirring constantly as burning can happen
- Keep a spoon in ice water, dry it quickly then drizzle a small amount onto spoon to see if jam sets properly.
- If it doesn't there's 2 things you can do: 1 add cornstarch (that is dissolved all the way in a separate cup) to jam and test until it's to your liking or 2 add the other half or pectin with 1/2 cup of sugar and dissolve in jam
