Delicious scones with fig jam and cream. Yummy!
This is a beautiful fig jam. It is so delicious it was difficult to put the spoon down and get the jam in the jars. What makes it even more delicious is the fact that it it is so simple to make. It is really a no fuss jam.
INGREDIENTS
3kg figs, skinned and chopped – we just sliced ours since the skins were so soft and edible
3 kg Sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 apple, peeled and sliced thinly
Ginger (optional – add to taste)
METHOD
Put sugar, water and vinegar into saucepan and bring to boil Boil for 10 minutes
Sugar and liquids
I used apple cider vinegar (since I had run out of white vinegar)
Whilst the syrup is boiling top and tail the figs and chop or slice.
Figs sliced
When the syrup has become clear (10 minutes at rolling boil) add the fruit mix – carefully.
Sugar syrup at Boil
Add figs, apple & ginger (if using) and boil until tender for approx 30-40 minutes, I left out the ginger and it tasted beautiful. If you love ginger add here.
Add fruit to sugar mix
until setting point is reached – it took the full 40 minutes to reach. I made a half batch of this recipe and it made 11 half pint jars.
Suray Fig Jam
Pour into sterilised jars & seal. It makes a dark, rich and smooth jam. Perfect for scones, toast or biscuits.
Suray Fig Jam
Refrigerate
Keeps for approximately 12 months (unless eaten sooner).
We have only had lovely comments about the jam so try some and let me know.
Enjoy.
Blessings, Susan ♥

The jam sounds and looks wonderful! I wish figs weren’t so damn expensive up here in the chilly north. I crave them every once in awhile. They’re such an interesting fruit.

Believe it or not this was my first time eating fresh figs. Once I did I went scouting for recipes and then made one up from all the rest. I’ve just been told to go “sugar free” so it’s going to last a while 🙂

Whatever Susan said about the taste is an understatement! ABSOLUTELY DEEEELICIOUS! I think I’ll have some more!
Le’s get real, when a half pint jar of jam only does 6 scones and 4 slices of toast, it’s a GREAT jam!

That was me too – the English version, but I was persuaded to try a fresh fig. How could I refuse when it was from our own tree? Delicious so hence the jam….Not sure it’s good for the figure though:)
