Fig Jam Recipe with Fresh Figs in 40 Min

Instructions:

1. Combine the quartered fresh figs, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in your saucepan.
2. Stir over medium heat for 5–8 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the figs release their juices. Note: This creates the syrupy base.
3. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring frequently.
5. Use a potato masher to crush some of the figs until you reach your desired texture.
6. Simmer for 20–25 minutes until the jam is thick, glossy, and coats the back of a spoon.
7. Stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon during the final 2 minutes of cooking.
8. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes before jarring.
