SUPER STRAWBERRY FIG JAM (LOW-SUGAR)
Came up with this low sugar recipe after being overwhelmed by light & heavy syrups while canning whole figs. Lots of figs around here now - free for the picking as not too many folks eat them anymore (Whaaaat?). It has a bright fresh flavor - when DH taste tested he ate all the extra from the first batch (about a 1/2 cup overage). Ordinarily he is a taste & go kind of guy so I knew it was good. I use the extra pectin as I like a firmer set. Leave out the extra pectin if you want a softer set (low sugar pectin seems to set softer for me). I added the extra lemon juice (bottled for the standardized pH) for safety's sake. No point in making the stuff just to get knocked off by it. The lemon definitely enhances.

Steps:
- Place figs and 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice in a 3 quart saucepan & bring to a boil. Simmer until figs fall apart easily when stirred, about 20 minutes.
- Add strawberries to figs, along with grape juice & the 3 T lemon juice - put the 3 T lemon juice in the one cup measure then fill with grape juice to the one cup measure.
- Sprinkle the pectin into the fruits & mix well to avoid any lumps.
- Bring the fig, strawberry, juice mix to a hard boil that can't be stirred down - watch & stir to avoid scorching.
- Add the sugar & bring to a boil. Boil hard for 3 minutes & then place in hot sterilized jars (I use the boiling water bath to sterilize the jars when they come out of the dishwasher).
- Lid & process 10 minutes for 1/2 pints & 15 minutes for pints.
STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVES
My mom put these up when I was living at home. I finally broke down & learned how to make them a few years back. So easy, but so good!!! Figs start getting ripe in the 1st or 2nd week of July and continue for most of the month (or at least that's normal for around here).

Steps:
- 1. Depending on the size of you canner, it may take up to 30+ minutes to get the water ready to can. Get that water going & once it's boiling, sterilize your jars. For a single batch, you should need 2 maybe 3 pints. (This will vary depending on how they cook down.) Get some water boiling in a small pan to sterilize the lids.
- 2. Cut off the stem & dice each fig into quarters or smaller. My mom uses a potato masher on the figs. Mix all ingredients together, stir & bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium.
- 3. Let boil/simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. (I turn the heat down, so I don't have to stir constantly to keep from sticking or burning.)
- 4. Place a teaspoon of the preserves in a bowl & place in the freezer. Check after a few minutes to see how they are setting up. If the are thickening, you are ready to put them in jars. If not, place a new sample in the freezer to retest.
- 5. Depending on your desired thickness, boil longer for a thicker preserve or shorter for a runny one.
- 6. Pour into sterilized pint jars, filling to the top (leaving the correct air gap if canning). Cover with sterilized lid and place ring on jar. If you are canning, please read up on the correct procedures, but the idea is to place jars in a hot water bath, boil for 10 minutes to force air in the gap from the jar. Once the jar cools, the lack of air in the gap will cause the lip to seal tightly. If jars do not seal, just put them in the refrigerator & enjoy!!!
STRAWBERRY BANANA FIG PRESERVES
This is another recipe that I got from my grandmother, Ethel McFarland. You add jello to the figs and they look just like strawberries. I added strawberry banana jello to these and turned out very good.

Steps:
- 1. Mash figs up in boiler and start to cook, add 3 cups of sugar. Recipe calls for 1 cup sugar for every cup of figs, but I dont use that much. They are to sweet to me. I use about 1/2 the sugar called for in the recipe.
- 2. Add large box of Jello. Recipe usually calls for Strawberry Jello but I change it up and sometimes add strawberry banana jello or Raspberry.
- 3. Let come to a boil and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Then put into your processed jars and seal as normal. Be sure and keep your jars,lids and rings hot until ready to use them. After jars are filled and lids on, process jars in hot water bath for about 5 minutes. Keep out of any drafts until they seal. DONE
STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVES
This is one of DH's favorite preserves. The recipe came from his grandmother. Prep and cook times are approximate. I'm not sure of the yield, so I'm guessing.

STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVES
Everyone thinks these are strawberry preserves. No one has a clue they are made with figs! You can even use different flavors of gelatin like peach or raspberry. Since this recipe makes so little, you could skip the hot water bath and refrigerate the jars of preserves.

Steps:
- Mix figs and sugar together in a large saucepan, place over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved. Mix in strawberry gelatin; bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 7 minutes. Mash preserves with a potato masher if desired.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the fig preserves into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
