Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos!


Thank you Ercan for the recipe!
Fig jam is a great idea for those with strong yields.
But I prefer to dry and/or dry & roast.

Hi,
Thanks for showing us the pics.
Like you say, it is important to leave the figs to rest in the sugar for some time.
I find that 10-15 minutes is enough in my case. It helps the mix getting wet.

How much time do you roast them ?

I roast them in ground oven approximately 1 hour low heat.

Great pictures!  Such a beautiful sight.

Correct! Problem is the high sugar content and the flavors - truly crunchy ... difficult to stop! 

Here you have the Blacks and the Whites!!

Hey guys please,
have mercy :-)

Does it retain the whole fig consistency for a while? How long can you store this for before it will spoil?

drewk,
If you put the jam into jar while it is still hot and close with a good cover and make it upside down as seen in the pictures then it can resist long time in cooler place.We consume it within a year and do the new ones again in harvesting time.To sum up, The main thing for storing this jam is covering the jars carefully.

Fig jam tip for all,
Last year my wife made Fig jam and added a few twigs of rosemary and it was absolutely outstanding. This year we experimented by adding a few tops from a French Lavender in addition to the rosemary. It came out beyond fantastic - words cannot possibly describe the taste with any justice. Unfortunately there is only a small overlap between fresh lavender flowering and Figs ripening season so only the first batch of figs got the Lavender treatment. Best way to add rosemary and Lavender is to take a large coffee cone filter and put the twigs/ flowers inside and tie it with a cooking string, then let it boil with the figs and remove the filter before canning.
