Strawberry Fig Jam

1. 1

   Chop (or easiest way blender) up figs and strawberrys.

2. 2

   I always have tons of figs so I make several batches but chop all ingredients first

3. 3

   Put 6 cups of fruit mixture (I say mixture bc I blend it all together) in large saucepan and turn on heat to medium

4. 4

   Add lemon juice

5. 5

   Mix 1 1/2 packets of pectin with 1/2 cup of sugar then pour and stir in mixture until no lumps remain

6. 6

   Bring to a hard boil stirring constantly until the boil can't be stirred away then add remaining 3 1/2 cups of sugar

7. 7

   Stir until no lumps then cook for 10-12 minutes stirring constantly as burning can happen

8. 8

   Keep a spoon in ice water, dry it quickly then drizzle a small amount onto spoon to see if jam sets properly.

9. 9

   If it doesn't there's 2 things you can do: 1 add cornstarch (that is dissolved all the way in a separate cup) to jam and test until it's to your liking or 2 add the other half or pectin with 1/2 cup of sugar and dissolve in jam
