Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh figs stems removed, washed, and quartered
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the prepped figs with the lemon juice and allow the figs to sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes.


    Soaking Figs in Lemon Juice
  • Transfer the figs, along with the juice, to a large pot set over medium heat. Add the honey and vanilla extract and stir to combine.


    Adding honey to figs
  • Cook, stirring occasionally until the figs break down into a thick and slightly granular jam, around 50-55 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.


    Cooked figs
  • Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
