Best 5 Strawberry Fig Balsamic Jam Recipes

STRAWBERRY FIG JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash figs and strawberries, cut stems off, and slice into fourths.
• Toss figs, strawberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey (choose the amount of honey according to your taste) into a large pot.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Boil for 20-30 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens. As figs soften, use a potato masher, or a whisk, to mash the figs.
• About 15 minutes into the thickening, add a generous splash of balsamic vinegar.
• Once the mixture thickens to your liking, remove from heat and cool. Jam is finished when the volume has reduced by 1/3 to 1/2.
• Optional: if you prefer the jam to be less chunky, process it in a food processor for a few pulses.
• Store in the fridge for up to a month!

STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVES

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.

STRAWBERRY FIG JAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F. Wash and rinse 4, 1-cup canning jars and their lids. Set the jars and lids on a small paper-towel lined sheet pan and transfer to the oven to stay hot.
• Add the sliced fruit to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to chop. Tip the chopped fruit into a 2 or 4 qt saucepan and stir in the lemon juice.
• In a small dish, combine the pectin and 1/4 cup of the sugar, mixing well, then stir into the chopped fruit.
• Adjust the heat under the saucepan to medium-high and bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil while constantly stirring for about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the remaining sugar and the butter. Bring the mixture back to a full, rolling boil for exactly 1 minute while stirring.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam that may have accumulated on top. Ladle the jam into the hot jars.
• If you want to store the jam in the pantry, follow these instructions on how to process jam. Otherwise, store the jam in the fridge for three months or the freezer for six months.
