Ginger Lemony Fig Preserves
By adding fresh ginger and lemon, you’ll find these fig preserves are a little brighter in flavor and sweet with a nice amount of heat.
INSTRUCTIONS
Wash and trim stems from figs. Cut into halves lengthwise, or quarters if figs are large.
Combine all ingredients in a heavy pan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Continue stirring occasionally until fruit is cooked and juices start to thicken. Remove cinnamon stick.
Preserves reach the setting stage around 220F. You can test using a candy or sugar thermometer or dip a chilled spoon into the mixture, if the preserves form thick droplets (instead of running off the spoon) it’s done or close to it.
Spoon preserves into 1 pint jars, letting them cool before storing in the refrigerator.
