Hey Sal, I would peel them before you freeze them .When it thaws, it'll be mushy but for jam it won't matter. I used this one from Ray Givan's Fig Booklet and it came out good. You can easily cut this in half. Make sure you use a heavy pot. I leave the peels on mine, but in your case, you probably wouldn't.
2 Qt. Mashed figs
6 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
Bring to boil slowly and then boil rapidly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Boil until it gets thich. Then add 1/4 c lemon juice and boil 1 minute longer. Jar it up & process in a boiling water bath to seal 15 Min.
To make the jam smoother, I find an emersion blender works great. Some figs fall apart more than others when cooked.
