FAST LATE-SUMMER JAMS
These quick jams are not preserves. They don't keep for months. But they don't have to, because they'll be gone long before they begin to spoil. Here are a few fast ways to hold on to the flavors of summer. The fig jam is good spread on toast, but also when served as a kind of chutney beside grilled meats. The peach or nectarine variation will add an ambrosial depth to your toast. And the blueberry jam? Its canvas is ice cream, or hot pancakes. In any case, use your spices sparingly, and let the fruit shine.

Steps:
- Combine ingredients for any of the jams in a small-to-medium saucepan; fruit should be at a depth of a couple of inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat. (You might have to add a tablespoon or two of water to the figs, but hold off until you see how much of their own liquid they produce.)
- Adjust heat so mixture bubbles steadily. If it looks too soupy, use a higher heat to reduce it; if there is not much liquid, use lower heat to avoid burning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is liquid but thick. Figs will take the least time, peaches the longest.
- Cool and refrigerate mixture; all will thicken as it cools. Store, refrigerated, for up to a week. Remove vanilla bean or cinnamon stick before serving.
