Home made bread and home made fig jam – figs from my own tree….
3kg figs
1.5 kg castor sugar
100g brown sugar
2ml cinnamon
2ml ginger
5ml vanilla essence
1 Lemon
Wash figs and cut the stems slightly, cut then the bottom of the fig (X) but not to far down..
Place all of this in a bowl cover with water, leave over night (except for the lemon) then cook this all for 2 hours on a medium heat (i use a gas stove) stirring regularly, then wash the lemon and cut it in half and add it to the cooking figs, cook for another hour, remove lemon, allow figs to cool.
Place the jam in sterilized jars, I cook my jars in water for about 10 min…. and enjoy……
