Cinnamon Fig Jam

(recipe, Katie Hickey)

Ingredients

1. ¾ cup sugar
2. ½ cup water
3. 1 lb. mission figs (about 10-12 figs)
4. 1 3.0 ″ strip lemon zest (or orange zest)
5. 1 cinnamon stick
6. ½ lemon juiced

Steps

1. Add water and sugar to a pan and place on a medium heat to dissolve.
2. Remove the stems from the figs and cut into quarters. Add to the sugar mixture along with lemon zest, cinnamon stick, and lemon juice. Bring the mix to a light simmer and leave the pan uncovered. Cook for about 1 hour or until the mix thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or process in sterilized jars.
