Making Fig Preserves From Dried Figs
Fig Jam from Dried Figs
Morgans Fig Jam from Dried Figs
This not a home canning recipe which is why I made only a pint.
makes a pint and 4 oz.
1 cup chopped dried figs
1 ½ cup water
1/4 cup white sugar (more to taste)
2 cardamom pods or 1/8 tsp cardamom powder
1 Tblsp ground Chia seeds (or regular seeds)
1 Tblsp lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1 Tblsp fresh ground ginger, or powder
To begin with, as you make this you can keep tasting it and adjust the seasonings to meet your taste. The same with the amount of water. It is really quite dense as it is being made.
1. Cut dried figs into thirds or quarters. Put into pan w/ 1½ cup water and turn to low for 5 to 10 min to make sure they rehydrate mostly. Be careful as they will really absorb the water and the sugar in them will burn.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients. Keep on low and stir often to prevent sticking and cook for 5 to 10 min. This is not Rocket Science as Mouse Toes often says.
3. Set aside to cool enough to go into the Vita Mix or a food processor where you will attempt to blend the mix, but you will have to add water as needed. As an aside Chia seeds will soak up a lot of the liquid. I mixed until I liked the consistence, like the jam in Fig Newtons. The fig seeds do not really grind down.
4. I put the Figgy mix back into the pan on low. I added a little water to my Vita Mix to try to get the sticky goo out of my Vita Mix. I put that liquid back into the Figgy mix.
5. I heated the Figgy mix to less than hot just to see if all was going well. After Dagney had about ten more taste tests I filled a pint jar with the mix, leaving behind about 4 oz for Dagney to taste more of and use the remaining in a marinade she was making during this process.
6. Set the jar on the counter to cool down before capping and putting into the fridge.
Note: Dagney has said for decades that she dislikes figs and Chia seeds, so when she started tasting this mix, and tasting, and tasting even more, I think it’s pretty safe to say she loved it.
This Figgy mix did not want liquid stirred into it, so be diligent and stir even more.
Also, This is such a dense jam that I think I know why there are no canning recipes for it. Error on the side of caution and just make a pint at a time and keep in the refrigerator.
It’s said you can use fig stuff on almost any food and in any way. Can’t wait to see. My next fig endeavour will be a fig and cranberry mix. Sounds awesome.

Do not buy the guide at Amazon or any other site online except for the Purdue site. Most are reprinted in China, and there are nefarious changes in those books. If you would rather buy it than print it from Purdue’s site it will cost $19 plus shipping. Get it here:
