Ingredients

1 lb fresh Black Mission Figs (washed, stems removed, and cut into small pieces)
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon honey
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients into a medium pot on the stove over medium heat. Mix the ingredients together until combined.
Cook the jam on heat until the figs release their juice and the juice begins to boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the jam to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the liquid in the pot begins to thicken.
Once thickened, remove the pot from the stove and place the jam in a heat-safe container (like a mason jar).
Place the jam in the fridge. It will thicken as it cools. Serve when it is cooled completely, and enjoy!

Notes

You can omit the honey or use maple syrup if you are a vegan!
Serve with goat cheese or brie
If your figs are not releasing a lot of juice, you can add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to the pot.
If you don’t like chunky jam, you can puree the figs with 2 tablespoon of water, and then follow the rest of the instructions as written.
