Total Time 2 hours hrs
- 1 pound Figs stems removed, washed and quartered
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Honey preferably local
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Bean Extract
In a large bowl, combine prepared figs with lemon juice. Allow figs sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
Transfer figs, along with the juice, to a large pot set over medium heat.
Add honey and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until figs break down into a thick and slightly granular jam, around 50 - 55 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
