Figs Jam

In my garden there is a fig tree that bore a lot of figs in the begining of the last september: I was thinking about a simple way to use them and I decided to make some pots of figs jam! Home made figs jam is ideal to prepare simple italian recipes like tart and cakes, and it is also perfect for a tasty italian breakfast. Try it on a slice of bread!

INGREDIENTS:

3 Kg of Figs

1,5 Kg of Sugar

1 Lemon

PREPARATIONE TIME: 15 minutes

COOKING TIME: 1hour and 30 minutes / 2 hours

WINE: Passito

PREPARATION

Wash, dry and peel the figs.

Place the figs, the sugar and the lemon juice in a casserole and mix all together.

Bring slowly to boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and remove the seeds of the figs that go up to the surface. Continue to cook until the jam become thick.

This is the result:

BUON APPETITO!
