Fig Jam Is best Jam

50 pounds of figs!  oh how meager my crop.  i was thrilled to see 22 small figs ripe on one day.  next year maybe it will be bigger.

how do you make your jam?  does it require sugar to process?  i can't use sugar so will have to dry or freeze extras if it does.

Nice job, Nice harvest!!!!!

That was then,in 2007,not now,in 2012.
I had the worse Summer climatic conditions from when I garden on this site ,since 1993.
The rain came exactly when the figs start ripening and lasted as long as it took to spoil ,sour and split most of them.
Here and there ,in between ,those periods I had a few good figs,but can't speak of any serious poundage.
Fig Jam recipe are on the net,just choose one that ,does not use any additional substances,only Figs Sugar and lemon juice for preserving,and add sugar and lemon last, 10 minutes or less at the end,and not initially like it usually is said,because it will stick and burn if you do.
Trust me there are always little secrets they do not tell you to make you fail,in our society.

Edit Note:I should point out that Despite Bad  climatic conditions we managed to make 23 ,10 ounces jar of fig Jam,and we have about 15 pounds of ripe fruits in the freezer waiting to be prepared ,new Fig Jam Tomorrow or Monday when my wife can help me.

Thanks for the tip!

looks like you had a good October Fest in 2007 Herman.

Thanks for the clarification Herman, that this was in 2007. I was wondering how you were showing pictures on Oct. 4th of figs you picked on the 5th. No matter what the date that is a great bunch of figs. This year your season sounded just like mine, rain at just the wrong time. Better luck to both of us for next year.
