By adding fresh ginger and lemon, you’ll find these fig preserves are a little brighter in flavor and sweet with a nice amount of heat.

SERVING SIZE

makes 1 pint

INGREDIENTS

1 pound figs

1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly-squeezed

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (or ½ teaspoon ground)

1 cinnamon stick

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup sugar

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash and trim stems from figs. Cut into halves lengthwise, or quarters if figs are large.

Combine all ingredients in a heavy pan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Continue stirring occasionally until fruit is cooked and juices start to thicken. Remove cinnamon stick.

Preserves reach the setting stage around 220F. You can test using a candy or sugar thermometer or dip a chilled spoon into the mixture, if the preserves form thick droplets (instead of running off the spoon) it’s done or close to it.

Spoon preserves into 1 pint jars, letting them cool before storing in the refrigerator.
