Fig Jam

2 pounds of figs, stemmed and cut into small pieces

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup water

Place the figs and sugar in a large pot. Stir and let sit for about 15 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon juice and water and bring to a boil while stirring to combine.

Turn burner to medium heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 20 to 25 minutes until fruit is soft and the sauce has thickened.

Place jam in sterilized canning jars with lids. Jam will keep in the refrigerator for at least 3 months.
