When made into a jam, their natural and fragrant qualities intensify, making them great at complementing savory dishes like pork, lamb, cheese plates, charcuterie spreads, sweet and savory flatbreads, and sandwiches.

Fig jam is also delicious when made from dried figs—simply hydrate in boiling water, blend with honey and lemon juice, and store in the fridge for two weeks. If you have unripe green figs, follow the same amounts used in this recipe, and make a wonderful jam with a different and tangier flavor profile. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the figs, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. While figs are cooking, prepare the jars and lids.
