Fig Jam Recipe | Fig Preserves Recipe

Fig Jam Recipe, Fresh figs are only in season for a very short time, so I always love to make a batch of fig jam that lasts all year long! This jam is so addictive with just using only 2 ingredients and hardly takes 10 minutes to prepare. It’s perfect for spreading on a toast or a sandwich or even you can serve them along with a cheese platter.
