Best Strawberry Fig Preserves Recipes

STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVES

Steps:

• Mix figs and sugar together in a large saucepan, place over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved. Mix in strawberry gelatin; bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 7 minutes. Mash preserves with a potato masher if desired.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the fig preserves into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a 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 10 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.

• 3. Takes about 15-20 min..will turn a deep shade of red and will coat the spoon. As quickly as you can fill your jars and screw down tightly. Immerse jars into boiling water bath making sure the jars are covered,boil for 10-15 min.

STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVES

Steps:

• 1. Depending on the size of you canner, it may take up to 30+ minutes to get the water ready to can. Get that water going & once it's boiling, sterilize your jars. For a single batch, you should need 2 maybe 3 pints. (This will vary depending on how they cook down.) Get some water boiling in a small pan to sterilize the lids.
• 2. Cut off the stem & dice each fig into quarters or smaller. My mom uses a potato masher on the figs. Mix all ingredients together, stir & bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium.
• 3. Let boil/simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. (I turn the heat down, so I don't have to stir constantly to keep from sticking or burning.)
• 4. Place a teaspoon of the preserves in a bowl & place in the freezer. Check after a few minutes to see how they are setting up. If the are thickening, you are ready to put them in jars. If not, place a new sample in the freezer to retest.
• 5. Depending on your desired thickness, boil longer for a thicker preserve or shorter for a runny one.
• 6. Pour into sterilized pint jars, filling to the top (leaving the correct air gap if canning). Cover with sterilized lid and place ring on jar. If you are canning, please read up on the correct procedures, but the idea is to place jars in a hot water bath, boil for 10 minutes to force air in the gap from the jar. Once the jar cools, the lack of air in the gap will cause the lip to seal tightly. If jars do not seal, just put them in the refrigerator & enjoy!!!

STRAWBERRY BANANA FIG PRESERVES

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
