Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Fresh Fig Preserves 4 pounds firm, ripe figs 4-1/2 pounds sugar (or natural alternative) 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 2 lemons, sliced A few pieces of whole stick cinnamon or ginger root (optional) Wash and peel figs; set aside. Combine sugar and lemon juice in large nonreactive saucepan; add enough water to dissolve sugar. Add figs and lemon slices; cook about 45 minutes (the cinnamon or ginger may be tied in a cheesecloth bag and cooked with figs for added flavor). Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Pack preserves into clean, hot jars, and seal immediately. Process in boiling water bath 5 minutes for half-pints, 10 minutes for pints. Makes 8 to 10 (6-ounce) jars.
