Here is the Fig Jam recipe...

Materials

How to Make Fig Jam?

• Wash the figs well and drain the water in a strainer. Put it in the pot you will cook, add sugar on it and leave it like this overnight.
• The next morning some of the sugar will have melted. Take the pot on the stove. Cook on low heat. When it starts to boil, add the cinnamon sticks.
• Cook this way for about 40 minutes. Remove the foam that forms on it during cooking with the help of a spoon.
• After cooking for another 5-10 minutes, check the consistency. Take your cooked jam from the stove. While the jam is hot, pour it into the jar.
• You can store it at room temperature after turning it upside down and waiting for it to cool. The consistency will thicken as you wait.
