Blueberry and Fig Jam-Low or No Sugar image

The figs can be placed in the food processor to crush by pulsing till mushy with some chunks. Using a candy Thermometer will help knowing the setting point, which is at 220 degrees. This has an optional Grand Marnier for a little extra treat.

This jam is delicious, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
