Ingredients
- 1.25 kg figs, washed, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 1 kg caster sugar
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1 ¾ cup water
Instructions
- Combine sugar, vinegar and water in a saucepan and dissolve sugar over low heat. Bring to the boil and boil for 10 minutes.
- Add chopped figs to the saucepan and stir to combine.
- Continue to boil for approximately one and a half hours, stirring from time to time. The jam is ready when it turns a golden colour and the mixture is thick enough that you can catch a glimpse of the bottom of the saucepan as you stir.
- If the jam is too chunky for your liking once cooked, mash with a potato masher to achieve the desired consistency.
- Pour jam into sterilised jars and seal with the lid.
