Notes
- Always use fresh ingredients, especially when it comes to the figs.
- Make sure you sterilize your jars and lids to ensure that your jam remains safe to eat.
- If your jam seems too thick for your liking, feel free to add a few tablespoons of water during the boiling stage and stir until you reach your desired consistency.
- jam has a relatively short shelf life, so make sure to use it within the week.
