Easy recipe for fresh fig preserves with orange juice and the tasty addition of fall spices - cinnamon, ginger, allspice and cloves.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh figs, trimmed and cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar (or more to taste)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 6 allspice berries
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 cloves
- 1 small knob of fresh ginger, peeled
Instructions
- Place allspice, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger in a square of cheesecloth and tie closed securely with a piece of twine (make sure it's tightly closed so your spices don't leak out!). Be sure that one end of the twine is long enough to tie around the handle of your pot. This will make it much easier to remove the spices from the hot preserves.
- In a large sauce pot, combine figs, brown sugar and orange juice. Add the spice bag to the pot, tying one end of the twine around the pot handle. Stir.
- Cook mixture at a medium simmer, stirring frequently, till the mixture thickens and groups of large shiny bubbles begin to appear on the surface, about 15 - 20 minutes.
- Remove spice bag and allow preserves to cool. Transfer to a jar or container and refrigerate. Preserves will last for about 2 weeks. Use a sterile canning process for longer shelf life.
Notes
- You will also need: Large sauce pot, cheesecloth, twine
