Easy Fig Vanilla Jam Recipe
This easy fig vanilla jam recipe is made with vanilla beans and brown sugar. It is perfectly sweetened with brown sugar and gives this jam a unique deep flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Fresh Figs
- ¾ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Citrus zest Lemon and orange
- 2 tablespoon Citrus Juice Lemon or orange
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Bean Paste
Instructions
- Wash the figs thoroughly in a large bowl and trim the stems and cut the figs into quarters.
- In a large saucepan, combine the prepped figs and brown sugar. Once the brown sugar dissolves the juice from the figs will release.
- Cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally until the figs start to break down, about 10 minutes. (You can use a potato masher to break the figs into smaller pieces.)
- Add in your vanilla bean paste, citrus juices and orange and lemon zest and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning on the bottom of the large pot.
- Simmer until the mixture thickens and reaches the desired consistency, about 30 minutes.
- Once you've reached the desired consistency bring the fig mixture to a full boil.
- Remove and turn off the stove and allow the fig mixture to cool before blending it in a food processor or an immersion blender. (For safety measures try not to blend the hot jam until it cools down.)
- Store Fig Vanilla Jam in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
