Best Strawberry Fig Preserve Recipes

STRAWBERRY FIG JAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F. Wash and rinse 4, 1-cup canning jars and their lids. Set the jars and lids on a small paper-towel lined sheet pan and transfer to the oven to stay hot.
• Add the sliced fruit to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to chop. Tip the chopped fruit into a 2 or 4 qt saucepan and stir in the lemon juice.
• In a small dish, combine the pectin and 1/4 cup of the sugar, mixing well, then stir into the chopped fruit.
• Adjust the heat under the saucepan to medium-high and bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil while constantly stirring for about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the remaining sugar and the butter. Bring the mixture back to a full, rolling boil for exactly 1 minute while stirring.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam that may have accumulated on top. Ladle the jam into the hot jars.
• If you want to store the jam in the pantry, follow these instructions on how to process jam. Otherwise, store the jam in the fridge for three months or the freezer for six months.

STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVE

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.
