Ingredients
-
4 cups fresh figs, measured after cooking (about 5 - 6 cups fresh raw loosely packed)
-
1/4 cup lemon juice, bottled
-
1 cup strawberry, sliced, heaping
-
1 cup white grape juice, less 3 tablespoons
-
3 tablespoons lemon juice, bottled
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 cup white sugar (granulated cane)
-
1 3/4 ounces no-sugar-needed pectin (I use Ball)
-
5/8 ounce no-sugar-needed pectin (1/2 package)
Instructions
- Place figs and 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice in a 3 quart saucepan & bring to a boil. Simmer until figs fall apart easily when stirred, about 20 minutes.
- Add strawberries to figs, along with grape juice & the 3 T lemon juice - put the 3 T lemon juice in the one cup measure then fill with grape juice to the one cup measure.
- Sprinkle the pectin into the fruits & mix well to avoid any lumps.
- Bring the fig, strawberry, juice mix to a hard boil that can't be stirred down - watch & stir to avoid scorching.
- Add the sugar & bring to a boil. Boil hard for 3 minutes & then place in hot sterilized jars (I use the boiling water bath to sterilize the jars when they come out of the dishwasher).
- Lid & process 10 minutes for 1/2 pints & 15 minutes for pints.
