Time 1h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups fresh Black Mission figs, stemmed and halved
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
1 13-ounce jar with lid

Steps:

  • Scoop the flesh from the figs with a spoon and discard the peels. Bring sugar and water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Stir in fig pulp, lime juice, cinnamon, ginger, and white pepper. Cook, stirring often, until a candy thermometer reads 210 degrees F (100 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
  • While preserves are cooking, sterilize jar and lid in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the hot preserves into the sterilized jar to within 1/4 inch of the top. Top the jar with the sterilized lid and let cool before storing preserves in the refrigerator.
