Steer clear of refined-sugar-ridden spreads! This simple fig jam recipe is delicious and fun to make. We love making our own jam because we know exactly what goes into it and it is so simple and easy. After we make it, we put it in an airtight jar (a mason jar works fine or an old jam jar).
This recipe makes the perfect fig jam that can be put out with a charcuterie board or spread on toast for a healthy breakfast. We have also recently combined it with some almond butter for the best almond butter and jelly sandwich. We can't wait for you all to try this recipe out. We promise, once you make your own jam, you'll never buy store-bought jam again. Better for your health and your wallet.
