Recipe 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.
