Easy Homemade Vanilla Fig Jam
This naturally sweetened fig jam is made with honey, lemon, and vanilla for a beautifully rich flavor. Perfect for spreading on toast, pairing with cheese, or spooning over desserts.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. figs stems removed, washed, and quartered
- 2 T. fresh lemon juice
- ½ c. honey preferably local
- 1 t. pure vanilla bean extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the prepped figs with the lemon juice and allow the figs to sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
- Transfer the figs, along with the juice, to a large pot set over medium heat. Add the honey and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the figs break down into a thick and slightly granular jam, around 50–55 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
