Elevate Black Mission fig preserves with cinnamon, ginger, lime juice, and a touch of white pepper for a gourmet twist. Chill in jar.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups fresh Black Mission figs, stemmed and halved
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 13-ounce jar with lid
Instructions:
  • Scoop out the fig flesh with a spoon and discard the peels. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add fig pulp, lime juice, cinnamon, ginger, and white pepper. Cook and stir until the candy thermometer reads 210 degrees F (100 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
  • 1. Once preserves are simmering, sterilize jar and lid in boiling water for a minimum of 5 minutes. 2. Fill the sterilized jar with the hot preserves, leaving a 1/4 inch space from the top. 3. Seal the jar with the sterilized lid and allow it to cool before refrigerating your delicious preserves.
