This fig jam recipe is so easy to prepare. It actually came as a surprise. We have fig trees in our garden and during season time we harvest so many that we do not know what to do with them. My mother actually recommended a fig jam recipe to use up all the leftover figs. Figs are also delicious in salads too and a great companion to parma ham, you can see this fig jam recipe with parma ham. What also makes this fig jam recipe great is that it stores well. You can store it for up to 2 months in a refrigerator. It also makes for a good present during festive times, like Christmas. I hope you enjoy this fig jam recipe.
