Fig and Lemon Refrigerator Jam

By MAB

Ingredients

• 1 lb figs - chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
• 1/3 cup ganulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp lemon zest
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
• 1/3 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

Stir together figs, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan. Let stand until figs are juicy and sugar is almost dissolved, about 15 minutes. Add lemon juice and water; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until figs are tender and broken down and syrup coats the back of a spoon, about 25 minutes.

Cool completely - about 20 minutes.

Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 months.
