Tips:

For the crispiest crostini, use a baguette that is at least a day old.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake the baguette slices in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the crostini are baking, prepare the fig jam.
To make the fig jam, combine the figs, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin in a saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the jam has thickened.
Once the crostini and fig jam are prepared, assemble the canapés.
Spread a layer of fig jam on each crostini.
Top with a slice of ham and a slice of Brie cheese.
Serve immediately.
