Homemade Fig Jam Recipe
This Homemade Fig Jam recipe is made with fresh figs, a touch of honey, a bit of lemon juice, and does not require additional pectin or gelatin.
Servings: 16 Tablespoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb. figs fresh*
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut sugar or regular sugar
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- Wash figs and trim the stems.
- Place figs in a large Nutribullet cup or in a large food processor with water. Pulse a few times until figs are mostly smooth with a few chunks left.
- Add pureed figs to a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat with honey, coconut sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Bring mixture to a boil and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes or until figs have reduced by half.
- During the last 1-2 minutes add vanilla and stir to combine.

Notes
- Brown turkey figs, black mission figs, and Adriatic figs work great in this recipe.
- Some fig varieties may be sweeter or less sweet than those used in this recipe (brown turkey figs) and the amount of sugar may need to be adjusted.
- Fig jam will last in the refrigerator without canning for up to 3 months, or on the shelf for up to 1 year if canned using a water bath.
