The amount of sugar most recipes call for is ridiculous. Those of us with diabetes can not eat it so to find your channel is a blessing to me. I also do not use artificial sugars so I love this recipe.
Wish I had came across this video before canning with sugar, but I know now and have save your video to my baking list 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom to all us newbie jammers. I love your honesty about how jam never last long because your family love it so much. That is awesome. I will try your tips and receipe and again thank you happy janning👍😁
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
I just made your recipe. I had 4 lbs of figs. So I upped all the other ingredients but just a bit. I didn’t have any honey so I used the Agave that I had on hand. I used the same amount that I would have used for the honey. OMG it was wonderful. I had to cook mine down for almost an hour because there was so much liquid. This fig bush was in our yard when we purchased the house. The fig is Greek. We know the previous owners and the gentleman own said that his ancestors brought over the root in their pocket when they landed at Ellis Island. My brown Turkey and my Italian are not in full sun so they are not producing much. It made 2 quarts, one pint and they are in the water bath now. The little left over we will be smearing on pork tenderloin in the next day or two. YUM. I really liked this recipe because it didn’t call for white sugar. thanks Karen. (Oops it made 2 pints, one smaller jar and the tiny jar!!!!!!)
Awesome! You're welcome Karen.
This is the perfect video to make Fig Jelly/pressure. Thanks for taking the time. Love it.
You’re welcome
Delicious recipe! I just canned two jars and look forward to making more. This is without a doubt the best fig preserve recipe I have ever tasted.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you. I was looking for something without all the sugar.
You’re welcome
I just made them over an hour ago. They taste so good and it was simple. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I made 3 jars and will be sharing them.
Wonderful! You're welcome
Thankyou very much for this video. I had made traditional fig jam with sugar but it was too sweet and I was looking for a version without the sugar! A very well explained and helpful video. :)
You're welcome. Glad the video was helpful.
Your fig recipe sound sonyummy and easy .ive canned figs before but boy oh boy it was along process .i cant wait to try these thanks for the recipe and video
You’re welcome
I have baby celestial figs all over my tree. Now I can't wait for them to get big enough to make this recipe! Thank you so much!
You're welcome.
Learned new info and suggestions for yummy fig jam. Thankyou
You’re welcome
Best fig preserves I have ever eaten. Thank you for the recipe... used cinnamon and lemon, skinny agave syrup.
Wonderful!
OMG, I wish I could find fresh figs locally. We had a couple fig trees when I grew up... always loved eating them picked right off the tree. So good!
They are one of my favorites for sure.
Where're you?

I don't see the recipe?
Wow fentastic. Iam gonna try today with my garden figs 😀
Awesome
Super recipe with a 'bite' to it! 3 lbs. of figs made 2 X 500 ml jars of these preserves. Many thanks! :)
You're welcome. Glad it turned out great.
I have made about 7-8 batches of this and it is delicious. I just finished a batch and I have noticed that mine takes more like an hour and a half to get to the right consistency. Tonight I omitted the water. In the past I never boil jars I just make sure they are sterile and fill them with hot jam, put the lid on and turn it upside down. Caps always pop. Thanks for the recipe, hopefully next year will bring me as many or more figs than this year! This is the first year I am getting about 3-5 pounds a day for the last 10 days or so.
That's awesome! I am also hoping for more figs this year. I planted a few more as well.
Can't wait to try this. So Awesome
You’ll love it.
Hi. Much appreciated
Lucky to have overhanging branch from neighbors. Bumper season due heavy rain. Will Try a jar
You're welcome.
Excellent presentation and information.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful
Am just making this preserve and it already tastes delicious
Wonderful
We have two brown turkey fig trees in our yard in South Carolina, and this year they are loaded. I used your recipe to make two batches of Fig Preserves (I call it fig jam) and it is delicious! We canned 11 half-pint jars Friday and I am cleaning/prepping another batch today. Thank you, sir, for your wonderful healthy recipe.
Awesome! Glad it was good. I am sure all those jars will disappear soon.
I have a massive amount of figs right now. I am new to canning.... I've done 2 batches so far and did a water bath for 12 minutes. How long do you recommend? Thanks!
Thanks , great video !
You're welcome
Wao...what a recipie 👌👌...i made it...its delicious....loved it...thanx
Thank you. Glad it turned out good.
Thank you for the recipe 😋
My pleasure
Good stuff. Many years ago we had a family friend who would make fig preserves without sugar and they were some of the best fig things we've ever had. Everyone else that's ever given us preserves they made, we had to throw it away. It was so sweet you couldn't even eat it. It would make your teeth hurt. It was more sweet than just eating a big spoonful of sugar.
Well anyway, those people are long gone and we haven't done the preserve thing since, but I'm looking to try it.
You're welcome. You can do it again. Have fun making it.
Menyimak... tx Oom
This will be choice of recipe 2day 🙋♀️👐💃 Thank you for sharing....note to self...do not refrigerate fresh picked figs b4 canning if you're wanting to can whole figs...breaks them down quick🤦♀️ so jam it will be 2day🥰
Cool
Loving this channel I just found today. I’m brand new at canning/preserving and want to try this recipe with our fig trees that are producing right now. However, I noticed another commenter stating this doesn’t contain enough sugar or acid to make the jam shelf stable… Can someone advise please?
Thank you. You can water bath can these to seal them if you like. That would make it shelf stable. We usually eat through the amount that we can in about a month.
This sounds delicious, but I'd have to blend those figs into a puree or something. I hate 'chunks' in my jams - I want them smooth as frosting.
God look at how beautiful those fresh lil figgies are!! I’ve seen em in the store, but never really knew what for… I’m thoroughly in love with dried figs haha.
This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for!! I’ve been vegan/cruelty-free for over 6 years now, but even with the agave option… is it even necessary??
…also, I’m thinking of Cardamom (another love of my mine, haha) have you/has anyone tried it in there…with some nutmeg perhaps?
Either way, thanks again! Definitely checking out that bread vid too!! So glad i found you, with all your good vibes and kitchen smiles ^-^
You're welcome.
I have added cardamom and nutmeg in other batches. They give it an amazing flavor.
Cheers.
Is the written recipe no longer posted?
Delicious 😋
Using this recipe if we do the hot jar canning, how long do they last on the shelf or in the freezer?
I’m going for it now
You can do it!
Can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing. 😋
You’re welcome
So I just made my first batch ever. It smelled so good and it tasted amazing. I made a small one btw. My question is this. How long are they normally good for to keep in a jar? Or better yet do they have an expiration time frame? Thanks
Awesome! I keep mine in the fridge for a few months with no problem. You can water bath can it and it will keep for a few years.
I have three gallon bags I will be processing for jam tonight. I have never canned without regular sugar, but it's my understanding that it preserves color. Have you ever made enough to put up with this recipe? Wondering if the honey is enough to preserve the color. I realize (at least I think you do) I will have to add more acid to be shelf stable.
I have never heard of the color preservation thing. They all turn a deep brown color when cooked. If you have a good amount of sugar, you do not need an acid because the sugar is an acid. Every year I get more and more figs so I am now putting them up.
I was hoping you would be canning since I am hoping to can. This will e a first time.. would you give me an idea or a process to follow for canning?
It would just be a water bath canning process. Just like canning peaches or pears or applesauce.
Doing this right now. I only have 2lbs of figs-so I will adjust.
Awesome
I don't see the recipe in the discription box. I have dehydrated figs. Can I use those and how much water to fruit do I use? Love you channel!
Hello. The recipe is there. I'll also paste it here:
Recipe:
Zest of 1 lemon
2+ tbls of lemon juice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 pinches of salt
3 lbs of fresh figs
1/4 cup of water
1/2 cup of honey
I don't know if dried figs will work. I have never tried that. They may not have the ability to reabsorb a lot of liquids.
Cheers!
Have you ever frozen any in ziploc bags?
Great video! All new info to me. Also, we use agave syrup almost exclusively. How would you modify this recipe to use the agave? I'm pretty sure it's sweeter than honey. I prefer the dark amber agave.💖
Thank you.
It is honestly up to you. I actually find honey sweeter than agave ;-) Start with 1/4 cup and move up from there.
I used 1/4 honey and 1/4 cup agave, just because I ran out of honey. Delicious!
Question: how long should you boil if doing a water bath? I have a massive amount of figs and need to can them. I've done 2 batches prior to seeing this video, and I cooked for 12 minutes (recipe said 10 minutes). Now I'm worried that wasn't long enough. This is the first thing I have ever canned. Looking forward to trying your recipe! Looks delicious! Thank you!
10 minutes is fine for fig jam.
@@CountryLivingExperience thank you!
@@CountryLivingExperience I've made this 2 days in a row now. DELICIOUS! I'm going to make another batch tomorrow. I have more figs than I know what to do with!
So awesome! Glad you liked it. What type of fig tree/bush do you have?
@@CountryLivingExperience I have no idea. I planted it in a large tub over 10 years ago, with the idea that I could move it around, but I left it in the same spot for so long that it's obviously put down roots and has gotten quite large. This is the most figs I've ever gotten from it!
Can I make this fig recipe without the agave or honey? I'm growing my own figs for the first time. They should start producing next year.
Yes, you sure can.
@@CountryLivingExperience Thank you.
If you wanted to seal it. How long would you boil it.
You only need to boil them for 10 minutes
How can I print your recipe?
If I make a large batch how long would I water bath?
Short amount of time. 15 minutes or so.
How long do I process the preserves?
It all depends on your heat and stove. I reduce them until I visually see a good consistency. Sorry, I cannot be more specific.
Best fig preserves on youtube. Ripe fruit..No sugar! I add NO sweetener...not needed. I like the spice added idea..try curry!
Thanks
Did you add the lemon? I don’t like tasting lemon in another flavor. He said citrusy. I wouldn’t like that. Wondering if citric acid would work and have no added flavor?
how long it will be last without putting it in the refrigerator? i plan to boil the jar for 10 minutes
If you water bath can it, it will last for several years.
@@CountryLivingExperience thank you very much, just tried the recipe and really like it...
Can you make this without honey or ANY extra sweetener?
You can but it tastes way better with the honey.
Turkeys Lila fig is the best of the world
Cool
With this recipe have you ever added Jalapeno and/or Habanero peppers?
I haven't added any. That would be good though.
How many kilo grams of fig? ❤ Greetings from Egypt
Can I use this recipe for peaches? And does it stay in the fridge as long?
I have not done peaches like this so I cannot really say.
I’m going to try it and I’ll let you know! I made your fig recipe last night and I’m in love!! I don’t like really sweet things and this was perfect. Our fig tree is exploding right now.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes.
can't these preserves be frozen? I"m going to prepare some in the next few days. As of now, the preserves will go into the freezer.
You can but I am not sure how the consistency will be when it is thawed. It is best to water bath can them.
how many pint jars does this recipe make?
About 3
Que buenísimo Delicia Rico dulce de higos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👋👋👋👋👋😋😋😋😋😋🇪🇨
Gracias
Looking good but no surprise it's sweet... honey😁
For sure
I don't see where you mention how many figs to use, or the weight?
Recipe is in the description. 3lbs
How does it thicken without adding pectin?
By reduction and concentration of the natural sugars.
@@CountryLivingExperience does it have its own pectin?
@@zoezzzarko1117 Yes. Some.
Where is the recipe? I went to the web site and have been unable to find quantities.
It is listed below the video. Click on the bold word "more".
That’s not fig preserves as I know them - it’s more of a jam. I love fig jam and my husband loves whole fig preserves.
The recipe looks delicious but not enough sugar or acidity to can and put on a shelf. Figs are a low acid fruit.
???
So need less sugar in my life
Doesn’t boiling the honey take away all of the nutrients?
Not really that much. It will degrade nutrients like Vit C and Vit B.
Honey is sweetener.
I know but it is a natural sweetener not a refined sugar.
i like the recipe but i think i would prefer it without the cinnamon and nutmeg. haha
ok. Modify it to your liking.
About how many figs makes 3 lbs. A guesstimate?
Sorry, not sure. All figs are different sizes. A medium sized bowl full...maybe.
@@CountryLivingExperience 3lbs before you cut the stems off. I just don't want to mess this up
It does not have to be exact. Cooking is never that precise.
How many lbs are in this recipe? I have 2 lbs of fresh figs today;)
Recipe in the video description
Is there a written recipe for this video ?
Yes. In the video description.
FYI honey is still sugar-as agave etc. is it is just more natural then white sugar and somewhat better for the body. Heading us not accurate since you are still adding a sweetener disguised in bee clothing.
You know that honey should not be heated in order to save the nutrients in the honey.
Yes. This is not medicinal but a sweet treat.
Dates have higher sugar content than figs.
Honey is sugar😮
It is a different type of sugar that is not a refined sugar.
Honey is sugar.
No kidding. I meant refined sugars like I said.
Those are alma figs. Not brown turkeys. Almas get ready towards the end of august. Brown turkeys get ready in July. Alma’s also don’t last very long but I’ve been growing and picking figs since I was a kid and these are alma figs not brown turkey figs.
They are not. I purchased the fig tree and know which one it is.
honey is not sugar?…
I meant unnatural refined sugars
I just saw it!!! 3 pounds! Sorry! ha ha
I don't trust him...1) he looks too fine 😊 2) he is skinny...everybody knows the best cooks are chubby & country... Jk hahah
LOL
Figs are aninside out flower not a fruit. So its just a fig not a fruit technically speaking. Thank you.
I know that.
