RECIPE: www.evolvingtable.com/fig-jam...
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.

I just picked our figs and made a double recipe of fig jam. It tastes wonderful. I will change the recipe a little by not adding 1/2 cup water for the double recipe because it had to cook almost an hour to remove enough water to make half the amount I started with. I would probably use 2 tablespoons per recipe. It tastes wonderful and my husband who doesn't like figs thinks it tastes great. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Georgia! So happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe! And yes, some figs may contain more water, so you can adjust the amount you add accordingly! Thanks so much for your comment and feedback!
Thank you
This looks excellent and I love all of the ingredients you are using! Can’t wait to make this !!!
Im going to make this! I made a pork tenderloin that had a sauce of apple, fig jam, red onions, and a balsamic glaze that was all sautéed together. It was heaven with the pork and your recipe will be PERFECT. Thank you for posting.
Great recipe, thank you!
your recipe is the best thanks
Awesome, i can't wait!
This recipe IS easy! I appreciate seeing how,using ,just a lb of figs could be made into jam. I have a small fig tree ,so have a sm amt of figs this yr. Thanks for making this video.
Thank you I’ll do it right now

Yay! So happy you liked it. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment, Sandra :)
It’s like that fancy fog jam with the orange fabric top
Lovely flavor yummy
Thanks for bringing back childhood memories, London Brazil. Once a year, mother used to make large amounts of it over a wood fire outdoors, in a big ceramic cooking vessel. She would only break them up with a stirrer as they cooked; she added just sugar and a small amount of water. Since this was a much awaited event for me and my little siblings, cooking seemed to take endless hours, especially for us kids who would sit around and wait impatiently to have a feast. It would result in a semi coarse texture; definitely darker, harder and chunkier than yours, but still so delicious. Yours must taste even better with all the extra ingredients.
Oh what a wonderful memory! And cooking it over a wood fire would be so fun. Sounds like she definitely put a lot of love and TLC into that jam. Thanks for sharing such a special memory with me :)
Very nice recipe.
The best recipe! Thank you so much, I made it and is delicious! I did not add water.
Yay! So happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks so much for your comment :)
I’m partial to whole fig preserves, but this looks to be a more spreadable alternative for such things as toast, crackers, etc. Nearly all the recipes for preserves for 1 to 1 ratio of figs to sugar, i.e. 1 gal figs-1 gal sugar. Seems to me that figs are sweet enough on their own to warrant a seriously reduced amount of sugar. I finally, finally got a successful cutting from my grandparent’s million year old fig tree which has produced abundantly. If you’ve got a recipe for preserves, I’d love to see it. Thank you for your bubbly, entertaining presentations.
Thanks for the simple recipe. My tree I'd packed full of them😋
You're so welcome!! Yup, the trees out at my Mom's farm turn right around July 4th, too. Definitely the season :)
Like your style
So delicious! Just made this with fresh figs from my tree
Yay! So happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting :)
I'm sooo jealous. I want my own farm!
Hehe we Aussies giggle when we hear FIGJAM.
Just made some homemade fig preserve,I still got it
Yum!! What kind of figs did you use?
how to store without fridge i mean how to vaccum close the bottle
I’m glad you didn’t make it too sweet because that would have been harder to watch. But I did like the tricks especially when it was done without all the overly sweet stuff sort of like if you put in way way too too much brown sugar and it starts to detract from the other high qualities of product and production.
The fig jam I made before watching this was way way too sweet as well so I will make mine far less sweet just to protect the quality. Do you know what I mean because otherwise it was really good.
I snapped my fingers and cut myself on the knife
EDIT: I can NOT believe how delicious this is! I added some Pectin to thicken it a bit and man it is GOOD!! Thanks for the awesome recipe! I used home grown turkey figs, had slightly over a pound and it turned out amazing! Also, instead of the lemon juice, I used lime juice, pretty much the same. Slather this on some celery and you have a sweet crunchy treat!
Can you please tell me how much pectin did you use?
Love the fun touches to the video and the alternative suggestions. Liked, commented, and subscribed (in that order) :)
Thanks so much!! Welcome to the channel 😀
What if jam is a bit watery? How can I make it thicker ?
Can \your freeze this jam?
Lemon juice adds a citric acid flavour which I do not enjoy in fig jam. To add acidity without changing the flavour try adding rhubarb, roughly 10% of the weight.
What a great idea! I have not thought to add rhubarb. Will definitely need to try it out and let you know how it goes 😀
Personality plus! Wish I can find figs here on Cape Cod, Mass. Wanna sell some? What do you recommend for store bought? The ones I have bought are awful.
Thanks so much!! Lol I wish I could - we'd need to increase how many fig trees my Mom has though at her farm :)
I was wondering where the beginning of the video was filmed? (first seconds with the stream)
It was actually filmed in Austin, TX at a place called the Barton Creek Greenbelt. It doesn't flow very often, but when it storms it's beautiful!
@@evolvingtable9462 It looked amazing!
FYI: Those are Celeste figs, not Brown Turkey.
Can I add the honey after boiling. I prefer not to cook the honey 😊😊
Can we use dried figs for this?
Same question
I do. I use dried figs with dried dates to make a spread. Put it through a strainer when it is thin to remove the seeds and then cook down. We use the jam in sweet bread recipes instead of sugar or honey.
Honey needs to be added in when a little cool ,heat kills honey nutrients ,great recipe though
Do you have a recipe for fig jalapeño jelly
Hi Val! I don't yet, but that sounds delicious! Let me know if you end up finding one you like :)
My fig jam became very greeny colour , why are yours so orange when cooked & greeny coloured after I blended them too. i My figs are exactly the same as yours were to begin with too.
the coconut sugar should darken the color as well
Mine too just tried it and after blended very green. What's wrong?
In India this is called anjeer
Those look like Celeste figs, not Brown Turkey.
U
How long can we keep in refrigerator.? this recipe is great
You're not supposed to heat honey!
This video is so much better with sound off. I didn't realize your target audience was middle schoolers
Too long…..
Soooooooo talkative . Cut in short .
Omg talk too much
The 'TV' magic was just so annoying!
Lovely flavor yummy
Yay! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe :)
