This Fig Jam recipe is a great way to enjoy the sweet, rich flavor of figs year-round. Perfect for adding to a cheese board or as a spread for bread or crackers. This recipe is easy to make and requires only a few ingredients. The addition of Licor 43 gives the jam a unique Spanish twist.

Instructions

1.	Combine sugars and figs in a large nonreactive pot and stir to mix.

3.	Add lemon juice and stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
4.	Reduce heat to medium and stir in Licor 43. Cook at a low boil, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and the temperature reaches 105°C (220°F) on a candy thermometer, about 25 minutes.
5.	Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam on the surface of the jam with a metal spoon.
6.	Ladle the hot jam into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace and seal. Process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes.
