Strawberry Fig Preserves Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-31143

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups fresh figs, stems removed
3 cups white sugar
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
5 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix figs and sugar together in a large saucepan, place over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved. Mix in strawberry gelatin; bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 7 minutes. Mash preserves with a potato masher if desired. Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the fig preserves into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings. Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my preserves turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

I found these preserves to be a bit too sweet. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These preserves are a little tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think they would be great on a cheeseboard or as a glaze for chicken or fish.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I really enjoyed these preserves. The strawberries and sugar balance out the tartness of the figs perfectly.

I made these preserves for the first time last week and they turned out great! I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for and they were still plenty sweet. I love the way the figs add a bit of tartness to the preserves.

These strawberry fig preserves are absolutely divine! The combination of sweet strawberries and earthy figs is perfect, and the preserves have a lovely thick consistency. I used them on toast, but they would also be great on scones, waffles, or even
