Easy Fig Jam

Instructions

1. Rinse and dry the figs, remove the stems, cut each fig in half and slice each half into six small pieces.
2. In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the figs, sugar, lemon juice and water. Heat over medium, stirring now and then, until it boils and the sugar dissolves.
3. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the figs break down and the mixture thickens.
4. Check doneness with a digital thermometer: it should reach 120°F. Or lift some on a spatula and let it drop; the last few drops should be thicker and take longer to fall.
5. Turn off the heat and let the jam cool, then mash it with a potato masher or blend with a hand blender to the texture you like.
6. Spoon the jam into a glass jar, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. It keeps up to 2 months.
