Fig Jam

Directions

1. 1
   Combine figs, sugar, zest, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until figs are very tender and liquid is very syrupy, about 45 minutes.
2. 2
   Remove cover, and cook until mixture has thickened and an instant read thermometer registers 220°F, another 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool 10 minutes.
3. 3
   You can use mission or turkey figs for this recipe; both will work great and are easily found during summer months.
