This recipe appeared in the local paper a few years ago and the original recipe came from a woman named Bulah Baker. It is fabulous.

Categories     Lemon

Time 1h20m

Yield 3 pints, 96 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups ripened figs
3 cups sugar
3 cups water
2 medium navel oranges, thinly sliced (do not peel, but cut off and discard the ends)
2 lemons, thinly sliced (do not peel, but cut off and discard the ends)

Steps:

  • Wash and drain the figs. Cut off the stems and coarsley chop. (The original recipe leaves the figs whole, but pierced with a fork.).
  • Cook the water and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a full, rolling boil. Boil uncovered for 40-45 minutes over medium heat, stirring often. (Syrup should "sheet" from the back of a spoon.
  • Pour figs, orange and lemon slices into the hot bubbling syrup. (The ratio is one cup sugar and one cup water to 2 cups figs.) Boil over medium heat, stirring gently, for 30-35 minutes. (The length of time depends on personal preference for thickness of the syrup.).
  • Spoon into 3 pint-sized, sterilized canning jars, to within 1/4 inch from the top. Wipe the rims. Cover with metal lids and screw on the band. refrigerate or process for 10 minutes in a boiling bath.

This marmalade is so versatile. I love it on toast, but it's also great as a glaze for chicken or pork.

I had some trouble finding fresh figs, but I was able to use dried figs instead. The marmalade turned out great!

This marmalade is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add some more sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I actually really enjoyed this marmalade. It's not too sweet and it has a nice tart flavor.

I had some trouble getting the marmalade to set. I think I may have cooked it for too long.

This marmalade is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The marmalade is thick and flavorful, and it has a beautiful amber color. I can't wait to try it on toast and biscuits.

This fig marmalade is a delightful treat! The combination of sweet and tangy flavors is perfectly balanced, and the texture is smooth and spreadable. I love the unique flavor that the figs add, and it's a great way to use up any extra figs I have on
