Strawberry Fig Jam II

Figs jams can be made with virtually any Kool Aid flavors – the original six flavors were Strawberry, Raspberry, Orange, Lemon-Lime, Grape, and Cherry, Although not all are a perfect choice, many are suitable to flavor figs including Black Cherry,

To reduce the amount of sugar and sweetness, Kool-Aid flavors can be used instead of Jello.

 

Ingredients

  • 10 cups ground figs
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 2 boxes strawberry jello large

Directions

Step 1

The prep time includes picking, cleaning and grinding the figs.

Step 2

Combine figs and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 45 minutes stirring to prevent scorching.

Step 3

Add 2 Boxes of strawberry jello and bring to a boil again. If you want to reduce cooking time, you can add 2 to 3 boxes of pectin. Pour into preheated canning jars and seal.
