We have three fig trees so we pick a lot at harvest time and give them away. So we tried your recipe, and it turned out really really well, but our figs had more water content than yours and I noticed that as I watched your video, so we still added a cup of water, but we had to simmer it down an extra 15 minutes to burn off some of the liquid to bring it to it consistency that looked like yours. So the next time I make it, I may only add a half a cup of water and this way I only have to reduce it for 15 or 20 minutes. All in all it tastes great and so easy to make. Thank you!!

I’m so happy y’all liked it! Especially having such big batches. Thanks for sharing your experience with the water issue. I hope that helps others. Make sure to check out my grilled fig video as well on the channel. It’s another fun use for one too many figs. Thanks for watching!!

I love figs, but can never eat them fast enough. This is a great way to make sure they don’t go to waste!! Looks delicious 😋

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks, Carroll!

Our second review since discovering this recipe which is so easy, we have cooked down 15 lbs of figs and we have been giving out 8oz jars to all the neighbors and receiving positive reviews

I normally buy fig jam, I’m going to have to try to this recipe for preserves. I love to eat it along with my favorite cheese and crackers.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Once you learn how to make it yourself, I really don't think you'll ever get store bought ones again. It's so easy and tastes so much better! Thanks for watching, Sonia!

This recipe has me wanting to plant a fig tree! I will definitely be giving this one a try. Another great recipe, thank you!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks, Greg! It will blow your mind how easy and tasty this is. I'm lucky as we have a fig tree in the family, but they should be in season through Summer at the grocery stores and farmer's markets. Let me know if you get around to trying it out!

Made some but added habaneros from the garden

[@outdoorindoortexan]

This comment made my day, Bill! Great tweak! Thanks for watching and sharing your two cents.

[@anndavies7995]

can you do it with unripe end of season figs

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Hi Ann, I personally haven’t tried that but don’t see why it wouldn’t work? It may take a little longer to cook down and soften unripe fruit, but surely it will get to it eventually. Report back if you end up giving it a try and thanks so much for watching!

[@FlamingBlueKing2012]

I don’t have a fresh lemon can I use lemon juice if so how much

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Great question, Annette! You should be fine substituting with lemon juice. I’d use 1 Tablespoon. Thanks for watching!

[@madelinehall8944]

i don't like the seeds. I run it through a sieve and then add allulose and dates to cook it down to a jam.❤❤

[@outdoorindoortexan]

That sounds like a recipe I should check out! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!
