Judy's fig preserves with lemon, an old fashioned recipe for fig preserves.

Ingredients:

  • 6 pounds figs, peeled or unpeeled
  • 6 pounds sugar
  • 3 lemons, very thinly sliced, seeds removed

Preparation:

Wash, drain and stem figs. Pour sugar over figs and let sit overnight. Cook over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved; reduce to low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add lemon slices. Cover and cook until figs are transparent and the syrup is thick, 2-3 hours. Remove from heat, pack in hot, sterilized jars and seal according to manufacturers directions.
Makes 5 to 6 pints

What did I do wrong?, Member livinnc4jesus

Have made this recipe for 2 yrs now. Love the taste. Love that it's simple. But, my preserves come out really watery. Is it because my figs are so juicy?
