Time 30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups mashed fresh ripe figs
3 cups white sugar
2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored gelatin (such as Jell-O®)
6 half pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Heat figs, sugar, and strawberry gelatin together in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a rolling boil. Cook fig mixture, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes; remove from heat.
  • Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pour hot fig mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVES

Everyone thinks these are strawberry preserves. No one has a clue they are made with figs! You can even use different flavors of gelatin like peach or raspberry. Since this recipe makes so little, you could skip the hot water bath and refrigerate the jars of preserves.

STRAWBERRY BANANA FIG PRESERVES



Strawberry Banana Fig Preserves image

This is another recipe that I got from my grandmother, Ethel McFarland. You add jello to the figs and they look just like strawberries. I added strawberry banana jello to these and turned out very good.

Provided by Betty Warren

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 c figs, trimmed and mashed up
3 c sugar
1 box large box strawberry jelloe or straw/banana

Steps:

  • 1. Mash figs up in boiler and start to cook, add 3 cups of sugar. Recipe calls for 1 cup sugar for every cup of figs, but I dont use that much. They are to sweet to me. I use about 1/2 the sugar called for in the recipe.
  • 2. Add large box of Jello. Recipe usually calls for Strawberry Jello but I change it up and sometimes add strawberry banana jello or Raspberry.
  • 3. Let come to a boil and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Then put into your processed jars and seal as normal. Be sure and keep your jars,lids and rings hot until ready to use them. After jars are filled and lids on, process jars in hot water bath for about 5 minutes. Keep out of any drafts until they seal. DONE
