Thank you because I see a lot of homesteaders people who want to go back to the old-fashioned way of producing certain things in the kitchen and they had loads of sugar and in reality in the early times there was no sugar. They didn't bake with sugar or anything like that so it's nice to see someone that's adding a recipe without the extra sugar, thank you so much best wishes🙏❤️☮️

I have made about 7-8 batches of this and it is delicious. I just finished a batch and I have noticed that mine takes more like an hour and a half to get to the right consistency. Tonight I omitted the water. In the past I never boil jars I just make sure they are sterile and fill them with hot jam, put the lid on and turn it upside down. Caps always pop. Thanks for the recipe, hopefully next year will bring me as many or more figs than this year! This is the first year I am getting about 3-5 pounds a day for the last 10 days or so.

Good stuff. Many years ago we had a family friend who would make fig preserves without sugar and they were some of the best fig things we've ever had. Everyone else that's ever given us preserves they made, we had to throw it away. It was so sweet you couldn't even eat it. It would make your teeth hurt. It was more sweet than just eating a big spoonful of sugar. Well anyway, those people are long gone and we haven't done the preserve thing since, but I'm looking to try it.

I just made your recipe. I had 4 lbs of figs. So I upped all the other ingredients but just a bit. I didn’t have any honey so I used the Agave that I had on hand. I used the same amount that I would have used for the honey. OMG it was wonderful. I had to cook mine down for almost an hour because there was so much liquid. This fig bush was in our yard when we purchased the house. The fig is Greek. We know the previous owners and the gentleman own said that his ancestors brought over the root in their pocket when they landed at Ellis Island. My brown Turkey and my Italian are not in full sun so they are not producing much. It made 2 quarts, one pint and they are in the water bath now. The little left over we will be smearing on pork tenderloin in the next day or two. YUM. I really liked this recipe because it didn’t call for white sugar. thanks Karen. (Oops it made 2 pints, one smaller jar and the tiny jar!!!!!!)

I have three gallon bags I will be processing for jam tonight. I have never canned without regular sugar, but it's my understanding that it preserves color. Have you ever made enough to put up with this recipe? Wondering if the honey is enough to preserve the color. I realize (at least I think you do) I will have to add more acid to be shelf stable.
@CountryLivingExperience

I have never heard of the color preservation thing. They all turn a deep brown color when cooked. If you have a good amount of sugar, you do not need an acid because the sugar is an acid. Every year I get more and more figs so I am now putting them up.
