RECIPE: www.evolvingta...
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.
Let fig jam cool before serving or storing in smaller 4-ounce and 8-ounce mason jars.
Serve fig jam on toast, biscuits, or on gluten-free crackers with goat cheese and enjoy!
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.
