This Simple Fig Jam recipe (no pectin)<\/strong> is easy to make with just 3 simple ingredients: figs, lemons, and sugar. It\u2019s the perfect way to preserve figs, which tend to spoil after a couple of days! Enjoy on toast, with cheese boards or charcuterie!<\/p>\n

Background\u00a0<\/h2>\n

I\u2019d never liked figs, but after trying a jar of fig jam that my mother brought back from Greece one year, I realised I liked them jammed!<\/p>\n

So, back in 2015, I developed this delicious Simple Fig Jam recipe.<\/p>\n

I decided to keep the flavour clean and simple by adding lemon juice plus the rind for added pectin.<\/p>\n

Figs have fairly low pectin levels, so the lemon not only adds brightness to contrast the sweetness but also enables the jam to set.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In hindsight, this jam should have been called Fig Conserve because of the low sugar and long cooking method!<\/p>\n

Recently, I was super lucky to meet a lovely lady at my local supermarket whilst I was eyeing up the figs to reshoot my fig jam. I\u2019d only gone in to get something for a family member on the spur of the moment, not figs.<\/p>\n

Long story short, she kindly offered to let me come and pick figs in her garden, which were pesticide-free; unlike the ones we were standing in front of!<\/p>\n

So a few days later, after coffee and a chat, we picked figs from her magnificent Brunswick fig tree, and the rest is history or rather, jam!<\/p>\n

Why This Simple Fig Jam Recipe Works<\/h2>\n
\"Simple\"Simple<\/figure>\n

This fig jam recipe uses the conserve method, which keeps the figs chunky and not mushy.<\/p>\n
