Instructions

  1. Start boiling water for a 15-minute canning bath.

  2. Wash and halve small figs, or quarter larger ones, then remove stems.

  3. Place figs in a large stainless steel pot with sugar, honey, red wine, and balsamic vinegar; cover and let sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours.

  4. Uncover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens; then stir constantly and test for the gel point.

  5. Remove from heat, ladle jam into clean canning jars with 0.5-inch headspace, wipe rims, and screw on lids.

  6. Process jars in the boiling water bath for 15 minutes for long-term storage.
