Miss Gay, can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. I made your version of this recipe last year, and also added 1T. lemon zest and fresh grated ginger, and now I have people begging for the stuff. Thankfully, I've got access to tons of figs this year in Georgia and I now have 8 pints finished. I'll do another 8 pints tomorrow and on Monday, I'll cook whatever I have left over. I guess then I'll go pick more figs if the birds haven't beat me to them! HAHA. Thanks and many blessings.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Thank you for telling me!!!!! Makes my heart smile. ❤️❤️ those darn birds! If they’d eat a whole fig it’d be ok ….. but they taste of 100 different ones 😂😂😂

[@cindymartin8098]

Thank you for the video. I am a 1st time canner and your instructors will help me.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Best of luck! I isnt hard....just follow the safe canning rules. Thank you for watching!!!!!!

[@brendarigdonsbrensden.8350]

I just sorted my canning pantry and realized I'm low on fruit jams and jellies that i give as gifts for teachers and friends so going to get cracking on that soon. Sutton's days winter jam is wonderful and the kids love it when i make Apple jelly with red hots added to it, I think its called candy apple jelly on you tube but my sisters MIL made it for years probably over 40 years ago. I like to share too, its like giving a kiss/hug with every mouthful.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Brenda Rigdon's Brens Den. The Apple sounds so good. I’ll have to try that!😀😀

[@nanak2119]

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Susan Cowan it really is good! 😄 God bless and keep you!😍

[@lonsangel]

I make this and it is our favorite. The only difference is that I mash my figs with a potato masher before putting them in the pot.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Angie Hardin it sure is yummy!!!! Thank you for watching!😄😄 God bless you!!! 😄😍

Thanks for sharing 👍 making mine this week!

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Elizabeth Gowens you’ll be so glad you did!!!! 😄😄

[@Homestead777]

Hi Gay....I haven't seen that, with using the jello in jam. I'll have to try it. I have a pear, plum, apple, & peach tree.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Danielle E yum!!! You’re blessed! I love fruit trees. We have plum, and a small fig that haven’t produced yet. Orange that makes sweet oranges. Meyer lemon growing. 😄

[@connieblanchard1640]

I grew up in Louisiana and made these every year with my mom.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

[@marilyndomin2942]

Looks so good. My friend has a fig tree but the birds and squirrels are eating them before they ripen.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

I had a friend that would put a net over hers....it kept birds out. Not sure, but, I'd imagine squirrels would find a way in. Pesky little critters!!!!

[@bohemiangypsy99]

Oh my goodness Gay this looks so delish. I love figs any way I can get them and I especially love them dried lol as a snack. I also love dried mango, pineapple, apple, apricot etc lol. Dried fruit with nuts are my fav snack. I would never have thought to use Jello to make a jam. Nice way to get intense flavour. Hugs, Michelle

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

bohemiangypsy99 yippee!!! Something new!!! This jam is delicious!!!! I love dried fruit with salty nuts😂😂😂 btw. Last year I cut in half and freeze dried figs. Talk about yummy!!!! Grands are here. Fixing to play Yahtzee. Fun times!! Aprils white blood count is dangerously low. .8. She can’t get out at all. Caused by one of her cancer meds. It worries me.

[@bohemiangypsy99]

@@ApronstringsGayJordan Oh Gay, I'm so sorry sista to hear that. I'll light my candle for her today and keep it going for a week sending positive energy her way every day. I love Yahtzee and we used to play it all the time with our girls when they were growing up lol. Yum, sweet and salty together is the best combo in my opinion. Freeze dried figs they would have been crispy wouldn't they? Oh my that would be hard to stop eating those ones for sure. Michelle

[@wtspell]

LOOKS GOOD

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Reallllll good with a buttered biscuit!!!!

[@laurachastain7116]

Thanks Gay, I made this a couple years back but put in freezer instead of water bath canning. Our 1 tree produced pretty good this year so I have a big bag of figs in the freezer. I'm going to try to do this recipe again but WB can it instead. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO ❣❣

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

I am so happy you are here to watch! Thank you so much. These figs are so stinking good! Kinda like Lays potato chips...ya can't eat just one ( bite) lol Have a blessed week!!!!

Where is the written recipe for Strawberry Fig Preserves? Thank you!

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

If it isnt at the end......you will need to write it down as I make them. It's been a while since I made them and I can't remember everything about it.
