Grandma Lofftus' Fig Jam
"Grandma taught Mom how to make this and Mom had a tree to make as much as she wanted! Remember to peel and cut the figs under running water or the acid will hurt your hands. Totally excellent on buttered English Muffins!!"

hello, can anyone tell me how many oz. or jars i should need for this recipe, and i'm a real rookie at jam so i need to ask if we let the sugar and figs and honey set up overnight in the fridge or at room temprature. i sure thank you for any help. -
so the figs, honey and sugar mix and sit overnight in the fridge. then it goes on the stove with no water at all ?

This is my first time making figs jam. I normally eat figs fresh but my mum gave me a lot of fig. To much to consume and figs don't have a long fresh life, so that's the reason why I made fig jam. I only used half the serving and had two jars which was perfect. One for me and one to give back to my mother and say thank you. :) It's very yummy. Thank you Upper Crusty for sharing your Grandma's Recipe. -
Fantastic spiced orange and fig jam! So wonderful flavors. I boiled it 25 minutes.
