Orange Fig Jam

A zesty, sophisticated orange fig jam.

Recipe Ingredients:

5 cups crushed figs
6 cups granulated sugar
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest

Cooking Directions:

1. Combine figs, sugar, orange juice and zest in a large sauce pot. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook, over medium-low heat, until thick. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
2. Immediately pour into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/3-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 15 minutes in boiling water bath.

Makes about 5 pints.
