Easy Homemade Vanilla Fig Jam

Welcome to day 6 of our 12 days of Christmas recipes series, you can see the rest of the recipes at the bottom of this post. This delightful vanilla fig jam may sound fancy but I assure you, it is very easy to make. It is yummy on crackers or with a slice of brie on a slice of baguette. Or have it on an orange cranberry scone! I have another recipe coming up later this week that this jam is great to pair with so stay tuned for that.

Tip: This recipe can easily be doubled, if desired.

Prep time: 55 minutes (10 minutes active)
Cook time: 50-55 minutes
Makes: ½ pint

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

Directions:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Serve this vanilla fig jam immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
