Directions
Southern Fig Preserves,Another of grandma’s specialty jams; she got this from a childhood friend of hers. If you’re familiar with jam making, these instructions will probably be very clear to you. But for me–I’d need a book like “Preserving for Dummies”:) I wonder if there is a book like that, and if there is, let me know!!!! *Again, I’m estimating that prep time and cooking time are both the same–I’m not sure and the recipe doesn’t say, so if you know, note me with times and I’ll post them.*,used Turkey figs. I left them whole. I cooked the mixture with a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, which I removed later. The liquid was a beautiful pink color. The preserves were fabulous. Working on 2nd batch now.,Great recipe! Worked out great. Used a little less sugar because I did have quite enough figs. This was my first time attempting preserves!
