STEP 1/10
Wash figs clean and drain. You can use it with the skin, but I peeled it and used it.
STEP 2/10
Cut the peeled figs into quarters.
STEP 3/10
After weighing the cut figs, add half the amount of sugar in them.
You can use white sugar. I used coconut sugar. I always use coconut sugar when I make jam or put in green. It's a little less sweet and smells better than when using regular sugar, so I use coconut sugar, although it's a little cheaper.
STEP 4/10
Mix coconut sugar and trimmed figs well and let stand for about 30 minutes.
STEP 5/10
Then the fig juice will come out, and the sugar will melt, creating moisture.
STEP 6/10
If you boil the juice and sugar as it is, it has a texture that you can chew the pulp, so you can boil it as it pleases. You can grind it with a blender like me. Nothing's decided. You can choose according to your taste.
STEP 7/10
Lastly, add a little bit of lemon juice. It would be better if you squeeze the juice out of it, but I didn't have a lemon, so I added this.
STEP 8/10
Put finely ground figs and sugar in a pot and just boil it down. You have to turn the heat to low. You have to keep stirring. If you don't stir it, it may splatter and cause burns, so please keep stirring.
STEP 9/10
You'll be able to feel it getting thicker little by little. If you boil down the jam's viscosity, it'll be a big trouble. The viscosity is different when it's hot and when it's cold. You have to boil it down to the point where it's a little watery to get the texture of the jam when it cools down. When you look at the height of the pot at first, you can see that it's a little less than half, right?
STEP 10/10
Please sterilize the glass bottle with hot water, dry it, and store it with jam.
